Yes, it's very easy to drown a bean plant, or just about any plant.
It would affect the color by making it DEAD. The roots, stem and leaves would get mushy and rotten. The color would be dark nasty green and brown, LOL.

If I remember right, yes, you can drown the plants- not only do they need the air in the soil to "breathe" but when we tried to stock them up on water over a week long break, it killed them off, and they started to mold also... It went from a nice healthy green to a sick yellow-brown and had actually wilted the plant to look like it had not gotten water at all- since it could not process the nurishment...

Yes, you can drown a bean plant. The roots have to have air for cellular respiration. If the soil isn't wet enough to kill the plant, the plant will have yellowed leaves.

yes, most all plants can die from saturated soils, except for the ones who have adapted to saturated soil conditions, such as the black mangrove, whose roots grow upward outof the soil. There they absorb oxygen rich air through special openings.
