Does the color of the substrate affect CL's in a way?

I was just wondering if the color of the substrate (Black) affects the behavior of a Clown Loach in a way?

I have different substrate colors in different tanks, and my fish try to blend in. I have horse heads on sand, and they are all very light. My Clowns are on black gravel, and it hasn't changed them that I can tell.

good to hear that cause I was planning on doing black gravel.

You'd be better off using black sand if you can find it, it will be kinder on the delicate barbels. Over here, it's available as black silica sand.
