No, famously, graphite is a dull grey colour. And copper salts are generally green or blue in colour. It all depends on the mineral.

The colour of a mineral is one of its several distinctive characteristics, others are hardness, its density, its cleavage, its lustre, and so on. Each of these are of aid in mineral identification.
