Is it true that if you paint something green, it keeps wasps away?

Growing up, my grandfather told me he painted things green when he wanted to keep wasps and hornets from nesting there. (bird houses, shelves in the green house. the deck for the pool.) has anyone else heard this?

    I dunno, that might be an old wives’ tale, or in this case, and old grandfather’s tale. My plants are green and the wasps hang around them all day long.
