Runner bean seeds

I bought a pack of mixed runner bean seeds (3 varieties: Tenderstar, Firestorm and Moonlight), with the idea that we’d see which beans we liked best and buy those next year. Trouble is, the packet doesn't tell you which are which - there’s just a mixture of white, brown and pinkish seeds. I’m guessing the white ones are Moonlight but does anyone know which the other two types are please?
(Google just shows me endless pictures of beans and flowers but no seeds!)

It's a bit annoying when seeds aren't labelled.
I don’t sow my runners until mid to late May.
