I saw on the pdga discussion board (ask dave D about innova) that there are 3 densities of the star plastic. There are about 7342 pages of this discussion so if you want hard evidence, good luck. I have come to experience that the harder plastics are more stable. I try to throw dark red and dark blue star discs as long as they are firm and domey. As for champ, when I was throwing orcs I could not get the same flight out of a cloudy disc that I could out of a dense clear one. The hard, domey, clear champ plastic was more stable. I also saw an interview with Avery (what's in your bag, usdgc 2007) that he throws red star discs because they are more stable. Most of the pros I play with have color preference due to flight pattern. I don't know if innova would want to confuse golfers with all of this extra info. If you are a beginner it doesn't matter you need to learn your discs and find what you like. The perfect flight of a comfortable mold is for more experienced players. The more experienced players will make these connections and find out what works for them. I am convinced that color, or density, has a large affect on flight. If the color of a disc changes the density of the plastic then yes color changes flight.
Field study anyone?
