Did I kill my new frags?

Last night I traded a frogspawn frag for a hawkins echinata and a pearlberry frag, but I was on my way up to a commitment that I had to fulfill. It was about 10 degrees outside, but since the car would only be cold for a couple hours and I had the frags sealed in a cooler I thought the water wouldn't cool down much. Boy was I wrong. I grabbed them when it was time to drive home and the water was pretty cold, so I tried to hold them in front of the heater the entire hour I was driving home. I floated the bags as soon as I got home, then put the frags in the tank when they were up to temp. I hadn't seen them while working today, but when I got home I noticed that they were pretty pale.
The hawkins is actually a bit darker blue than in the pic, but still not the deep purple it was when I traded for it. Are these on their way out, or could they come back?
