Seed Keepers

Honestly, I expect they do...my real question is, would red 
bean seeds become black over time, say 10 years?

I've been struggling with cataloging my seeds for years. At 
some point during the year I get tired of it and shove 
everything not cataloged back in the freezer and give up for 
the year. I only just noticed I had seeds of the same thing 
from the same company purchased ten years apart. One set is 
black, the other (newer) is red. I suspect the company just 
changed what they sell under that name as the type of bean 
you get from that umbrella name varies greatly. Both 
germinated, I'll have an answer at the end of the season if 
I end up with red seeds from one plant and black seeds from 
the other, but I thought I'd ask while I was thinking about it.
