Maybe you need to place the sprouter a little cooler, so the water does not evaporate quite so fast.

If your Crimson Clover sprouts are yellow even two days after they have unfolded their leaves, they need more light.
The light allow for the plants to develop chlorophyll in their leaves and soon they turn green.
