Betty,
Presumably a sport (somatic mutation) could affect any genetically
determined characteristic of the plant. It's just that color changes are
the most obvious and therefore more likely to be noticed. Also, color
changes are of more interest to hybridizers than some subtle change in
plant metabolism, for example.
