My modest piece of advice would be not to underestimate the color rendition of brands.
If you intend to shoot JPEGs, it will be very important.
If you intend to shoot RAW, then it will be mostly up to the processing software you're going to use. Also, shooting raw, you could virtually completely recalibrate the colors to your liking, but it's a tedious, endless effort I wouldn't venture in.
Camera manufacturers do define themselves with a defined color feel & signature. To even complicate the matter further, they all have different "picture styles" too... Mind you, it also depends on the lenses used. But still, overall, you can distinguish a color identity.
I found at my DSLR days that I much liked Canon over Nikon. Nowadays, eventhough they're slightly more cast, I can only live by Olympus colors.
Hours of surfing on flickr can give you a first peek at that, somehow, or looking at testing material such as imaging-resource & dpreview (but here, you'll be seing adobe interpretation, mostly, but luckily, for big names, Adobe is trying to stick with the brand identity, I think).
Hope this helps,
Greetings.
