Do the color of the EE's legs have anything to do with egg color?

I bought pullets from two different sources...both of whom got them from hatcheries. The first batch have pink legs, the second batch have very green legs.
Does this tell me anything about the color of eggs the birds will lay? I am soooooooo hoping to get some pretty blue eggs

I have never heard that it did but im far from any kind of expert. I have 5 and get a good range from olive to blue.
 
No, leg color tells nothing of egg color. The best indicators are the comb and sometimes earlobes. For example: My EE hen has slate legs, which may be a good sign - But she lays light brown eggs. The indicator is that her comb is single, although it flops in every direction which makes it just plain weird looking, it is single, not pea. Also, her earlobes are tricolored - They're pink, white, and turqoise. Red earlobes are often what point to a green or blue egg.
