Says 4 different colors... my question is, does the color change the flavor?? Different color tomatoes do, is it the same for carrots?

I don't know. I have been tempted to try these but I haven't bought seeds yet.

The flavor is still carroty. Like all varieties of anything there will be subtle differences. Did some research on carrots a couple of years ago. Because the Netherlands' national color was orange and the Dutch grew lots of carrots and wanted to distinguish themselves from the MIddle-East where most carrots came from originally and grew in several colors, none of them orange, The Dutch King ordered his botanists to develop a "royal" orange carrot. Over the years, the hybridized orange carrot became the norm. Much like the round red flavorless hybrid tomato became what many accepted as what a tomato should be. Carrots are now those supermarket orange roots with no flavor.
Grow your own carrots and taste the difference. There are lots of colorful carrots of all sizes and flavors out there.
