Is it true that people are more likely to be allergic to dark-haired than light-haired cats?

Brown Tabby

The colour of a cats coat is thought to have an effect on individuals who may be allergic to them. One research study showed that whether a cat was kept in or out of the bedroom proved not to influence the allergic reaction in their owners. But, perhaps rather surprisingly those people keeping a dark-haired cat were 75 percent more likely to display allergic symptoms than those with a light-haired cat. Although the real reason for this discrepancy is currently unknown, it is probably related to the thickness or composition of the hairs.
