Do Feather Colors Say Anything About Personality?

Hi all! I am not breeding and perhaps this is in the wrong forum. I heard it said somewhere that the color of the feathers may be an indication of the personality of the bird you are getting.

To clarify, I heard that Green and Grey IRN's tend to be more wild in nature; tend to have a tougher bluffing stage. I am considering adopting a baby IRN that is Blue and wondered if there would be a difference that could be noted based on color?

For reference, my Green IRN was definitely wild... before he left me, he was always very independent (and my greatest joy). Although I heard bluffing would be difficult with him, he was in fact very pleasant and bluffing lasted only a short time.

Just a wonder if feathers truly are an indication of personality from you professionals.

How bizarre- only heard that old wives tale for equine colours- but in any case it's not true ;)
