The simple answer - Yes, of course color does.

Take a look and decide for yourself. Four renderings of the same house design are shown below. The only changes are siding and stone colors. Trim colors make a decided difference, so let your eye wander. Light colors tend to make a house look bigger. In the end, it comes down to the eye of the beholder.
