Yes I believe it's mostly heat that causes spotted beans to become solidly colored. I also believe sometimes it could be soil types but it's mostly heat that does it. The lighter loamy soils with a higher sand content will give you more white and spotting on beans like Jacob's cattle. Wait until I put up Ernie's Big Eye which I grew this year. I'll put up a photo of what I grew this year and the seed that I recieved.
