It’s not so much veracity, just that the brown ones don’t do anything except speak to you. The other colors all affect the game in some way, selling stuff/swapping crystals etc.

The grey guys are always merchants or quest chain participants, and the oddly colored cloaked guys throughout the world perform various tasks for you, but everyone else wears brown and may or may not be telling the truth.

That’s surprisingly helpful.
