Would intelligence affect the evolution of colorful display patters for attracting mates?

On another planet there is a group of organisms that have colorful display patterns allowing them to attract mates. Eventually a branch of this type of organism evolves the intelligence of early humans.

Could their intelligence affect how they select for color patterns in mates, and so affect, the evolution of the color patterns? If so, how might their intelligence affect the evolution of their colorful display patterns?
