Can the color of your 3D printing filament affect the resistance?

I see people all the time asking which brand of gear is recommended. One thing that people often forget is that each individual color has its own properties too! If you happen to buy a brand that has qualities you like, you may find that the color you selected does not work as expected with the settings you are using.

You might be tempted to think I'm just being stupid, but Stefan from CNC Kitchen has tested this with his usual scientific rigor and you can see the results for yourself!

Keep in mind that this test uses exactly the same settings for everyone. While you might assume that some are simply weaker, each individual color may simply require its own specific temperature and speed settings to achieve the same results!
