My local gardener informed me that it was "bad" to plant different colors of Cannas together, he could not tell me why though. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the advice.

I grow cannas every year for home and work and the only problem i get is that slugs love em !!!!!

Maybe it's because they might grow at different rates and look wrong together? Or the colours of the flowers clash? Otherwise, I can't see any reason why not.

The only thing that I can think of is in some varieties of Canna you cannot tell if it has Canna virus or not - Tropicana, Durban and etc.

Trying to tell Christopher Lloyd not to plant different colours together was like a red rag to a bull. If you want to do it, go for it
