No.
The color of your lightsaber out of KOTOR does not canonically hold any relevance. It's just a game mechanic, really. As far as the movies and the rest of EU is concerned, colors don't really mean anything outside of Sith using red.

Mace uses purple and his skills leaning on the side of brute strength and skill=blue.Obi wan certainly seems to be more of a consular type and his saber is blue. your saber doesnt dictate your style.
and consular/guardian/sentinel were only mentioned in kotor for gameplay mechanics.
A consular type isn't the wise old man type thing. It's someone who specializes in using the force; and seeing as Obi-Wan's force techniques are average, his saber skills (aka ultimate Soresu mastery) is his best skill. Obi-Wan seems to be a Jedi Guardian, so this specific point is false.
But otherwise, you're right; the color isn't relevant. You could play KotOR and use a green lightsaber if you're a guardian, you know... it's just a matter of choice.
Yoda was considered to be probably the best duelist in the Jedi order; his lightsaber skills were hardly 'weak'.

yes but the fact that yarael is a consular and uses a blue lightsaber prooves that colors dont really matter.wookiepedia is not a cannon source.
the article sais that green is the USUAL COLOUR and that they can choose. furthermore it states yoda was a consular regardless of colour of blade
Wookieepedia is one of my favorite sites. However, if you would like to use it as canon, then I give you a quote from the Jedi Guardian page:
"The same can be said for Yoda in the opposite view. Although he was a Jedi Consular, he was one of the best lightsaber duelists of his time."
So if you would like to accept Wookieepedia as a canon source, then you must also accept the sentences that honor Yoda's swordfighting skill.
