Don’t knock ‘em, beating dog, peg dog and getting there on the deer
I think it all depends on the individual dog over colour, I've seen chocolates work better than yellows and red fox labs work better than black labs but then you look at someone else's gun dog pack and it's all change again.
Silver labs are just a weimaraner x lab lol no doubt someone had an accidental puppy litter and decided silver lab sounded better to sell them

Bizarrely, the deer don't seem to be spooked when they see my black lab. I have shot several that we have bumped into on the way back to the car and they seem transfixed by the dog and ignore me. Fatal mistake. Dunno...
Whilst not usually one for broad sweeping generalisations, every chocolate that I have ever met has not appeared to have much of anything between its ears. Including my grandfathers (which he always referred to as "liver" coloured; a regional thing perhaps?)

. crikey that’s torn it. get yer hard hat on brother, you may have incoming 
I've always had black labs but when keepering have seen many fox reds and yellows. Like Theroedeerguy says, I've yet to see a really good chocolate lab. I'm sure there may be the odd one but as far as I have seen all colors work much the same except for the chocolates

By the law of averages there has to be a decent one somewhere but the majority of them are pretty gormless and don’t tend to be kept in full time working homes.

Three labs, one yellow, one black and one chocolate, come to an old stone wall while out for a walk.
The yellow dog runs along the wall and goes round it.
The black dog jumps and scrabbles up and over it.
The chocolate keeps running into it till it knocks it down.
That’s the difference

Thank the dog walkers.
Always had spaniels but a friend I used to pick up with breeds labs and has some very good reds.
