Do cat color genetics affect personality? [View all]

I think that breed, where it exists, has more to do with personality and behavior than color. In cats that have no specific breed, their personalities will vary regardless of color

This video gives some genetic information associated with colors, but then tries to connect color with personality, which has no scientific evidence.

OTOH, the video says that orange males are very friendly and affectionate. The only orange male that I ever had was the most affectionate cat I have ever seen. His name was Leo, but I nicknamed him Mr. Love.

My current cat is tricolor, a tortoiseshell tabby. She is affectionate, but very independent and assertive as the video says for tricolor cats.
