They do not taste the same to me at all. For instance, dark red kidney
beans have a very strong flavor to me. Light red have a less pronounced
flavor and white ones are very mild. I like to use the dark red in chili
but if I am making soup, if I use dark red, I like to use white or chickpeas
or even some other form of bean to add an additional flavor. They also have
different textures. Some are more mealy.
