Do snails distinguish colors, and do these colors attract them?

Walking along the park alleys in search of fresh spring impressions, I came across an unusual phenomenon.

Two snails, probably young Roman snails, coexisted on the tree, next to each other at a short distance.

There would be nothing unusual about it, if not for the fact that both had different shell colors. One snail had a greenish shell, the other a pinkish shade.

It also turned out that they liked the tree painted with spray paints.

The next day, only one of the snails remained, and it moved to a place painted with paint. The additional juicy greenery in the background made the whole situation look picturesque, almost fabulous, which I decided to capture by taking a few photos.
