This is however not true. The part the wrapper plays in the strength depends on the quality and origin of the wrapper leaves and on the ring gauge of the cigar. Smaller the RG, a larger part the wrapper plays in the strength as well as in the over all flavor profile. What little can be determined from the color of the wrapper, is that darker wrappers tend to be sweeter and "rounder" in taste than the lighter ones.
As a general consensus, wrapper colors can roughly be divided into seven categories:
Double Claro
Green in color. Sometimes referred to as “Candela”. More popular in the past. Not so much in production today.
Claro
Very light beige. most often originated from Conneticut.
Colorado Claro
Medium Brown in color. The most popular wrapper in production today. Often referred as "Natural". Also usually from Conneticut or grown from Conneticut-Seed.
Colorado
Brown wrapper with a recognizable red hue.
Colorado Maduro
Dark version of the Colorado Claro. Usually from Cameroon or Havana Seed grown in Nicaragua or Honduras.
Maduro
Dark brown. Most Maduro wrappers come from Nicaragua and Brazil. Also some from Conneticut and other areas. Very popular in production today (especially on the USA market).
Oscuro
Simply: Black.
