Will a lens affect colors, modern vs vintage lens?

A friend just asked this question and I have no clue of the answer.  I don't have any vintage lenses.  If you are running older manual lenses on your modern camera, will the colors be different from a modern lens?

Doesn't matter, vintage or current, different brands often produce different color casts depending upon the lens coatings.

I occasionally attach a vintage Nikkor Reflex [ mirror ] lens to a not-so-old digital Canon ,  and  because  some of the original coatings on front surface of lens  have gradually worn off ,  I often get some nice – but acceptable – warm tints even in a distinctly cool balance lighting scene ,  compared to the other, more recent model lenses I have .
