They should be green and growing. Are the leaves dying back from the tips or from the base, or are they turning brown all at once? And are all the leaves turning brown at the same time, or are the older (larger) ones turning first? Possible causes: --Frost (unlikely since you're in SoCal). --Soil is too waterlogged (not enough air circulating through it). --Soil is too dry. --Temperature is too warm. Some questions (sorry to ask so many, but this will help me diagnose what's going on): Are these first year seedlings or older bulbs? When in the year did you start watering them? What sort of soil do you have them in? Are they indoors or outdoors? How much sun do they get? Are they in pots or in the ground? If pots, how big are the pots? And how often are you watering them?
