The breed of chcken determines the color of eggs.
For Example:
Hamburgs, Leghorns, Anconas, Minorcas-Lay white eggs
Rocks, Wyandottes, Orphingtons, New Hamshire and Rhode Island Reds-Lay Brown eggs
Araucanas-Lay blue-green colored eggs
Cuckoo Maran-Lay Dark Chocolate colored Eggs

There are actually more Brown eggs laying chickens, then white egg laying chickens!
The eggs do not taste different, than any other color. But Farm fresh eggs taste and look different than store bought eggs. Store bought eggs, are weeks, sometimes months old when you buy them, that is why the Yolks are Very yellow. Farm fresh eggs, the Yolks are very Orange. Farm fresh eggs taste much better as well. I went to my In-Laws for breakfast Last week, they cooked eggs(Store Bought), and too me, they had no taste at all.JMO tho.
