I guess it would be influenced. Right now, our vision is already influenced by that [massive blue sky above us](http://patarnott.com/atms749/pdf/blueSkyHumanResponse.pdf). The human visual system corresponds to the large influx of blue light that gets scattered in the atmosphere. Having a red or a blue star would probably also have some influence, as would have a different kind of atmosphere (which is not mainly nitrogen and oxygen). The brain would probably compensate, but the rods in the eye would have a different composition.
