Welcome to A4A... most likely the wind we had chilling them if they weren't fully hardened off when you put them out... :)
After that residual herbicides? Poor soil (not enough nitrogen) but my money is on the wind...

I have some french beans that had gone very yellow. Had them cloched up so thought they had been cooked. I am interested in your lack of nitrogen suggestion becuase there was some fresh manure on the site.
Much against my organic principle I gave them some Miracle Grow and that seems to have perked them up.

I find over watering and or bad drainage can also cause these symptoms!
