Do dark eggs take longer to hatch?

I put 12 eggs in our borrowed incubator. 6 are light blue, 6 are dark olive green. On day 20 I saw one pip. 12 hours later heard peeping and two more eggs pipped. Almost 24 hrs after the first pip, nothing. I was franctically reading about when and how to assist a hatch when four chicks hatched all at once. Five hours later a 5th chick all from blue eggs. Today is day 21 and no action from the four green eggs. (Two of the green were removed on day 10, no development and blood ring) I can't see well in the green ones, but we could make out air cell in the four still incubating when we candled before lockdown. Should we quickly take out our five feisty day old chicks and move them to the brooder while being careful to keep humidity up for the remaining dark eggs?
