Broad Beans

I have just bought a packet of broad bean seeds which are a browny colour. I've always had them as a pale green and wondered if this packet will produce  plants or am I wasting my time putting them in? Thanks

    Brown seems normal to me. I sowed brown seeds and now have lovely plants about 30cm tall with flowers.

    Same here - I expect brownish seeds.
