This is the question that has been on many a newbie's mind, and when someone tries to tell them the currently accepted theory, someone will always come in and say "that's never been proven." Well, I'm sick of hearing that kind of argument, so I set out to see if the pack color really does affect what type of cards you get.
To do this, I ultimately obtained forty packs of cards, 10 of each. I began with the red packs, and was using Story Mode to obtain them. This randomized which rank I got, and was ultimately too cumbersome to finish the study in timely manner. Thus, halfway through the red packs, I switched to the classic "fight Monster=0" method, which consistently earned me a C+. When I switched to the blue packs, I came up with a method that was just as fast and earned consistent Bs. That method was applied for most of the blue packs, all but one of the greens, and every black.
What follows is the complete listing of every card I got, followed by the totals and percentages of card types (split by the game's own divisions, those being Creature, Item, Action, and Assist). Just scroll down if you don't want to see what the cards themselves were.

Results:
Blue Packs:
Creatures - 30/68 - 44.1%
Items - 21/68 - 30.8%
Actions - 13/68 - 19.1%
Assists - 4/68 - 5.8%
Red Packs:
Creatures - 6/60 - 10%
Items - 34/60 - 56.6%
Actions - 15/60 - 25%
Assists - 5/60 - 8.3%
Green Packs:
Creatures - 10/67 - 14.9%
Items - 20/67 - 29.8%
Actions - 34/67 - 50.7%
Assists - 3/67 - 4.4%
Black Packs:
Creatures - 11/70 - 15.7%
Items - 25/70 - 37.5%
Actions - 25/70 - 37.5%
Assists - 9/70 - 12.8%
Conclusion: While 10 packs is hardly indicative of the thousands if not millions of others already taken, but it would certainly appear that blue packs will yield more monsters, red packs will give you items, green packs will give you actions, and black packs will give you more assists than usual, compared to the other packs. And now there has been a statistical investigation into the matter.
