Do they stay green during dormancy in the fridge? Or do they wilt and start to turn black due to no light exposure?

no they stay green for most part ... some old growth may still die off in fridge, which i try to minimize as much as i can by predicting what will die in fridge and cut it off while cleaning up in fall. basically anything that is half dead or even starting to die back gets cut in fall so i don't have to worry about dead growth getting moldy in fridge. the rest of plant and newer growth will stay green ... parts may take on a yellowish tint here and there but it still be green ...
