Maybe. Such division was (supposedly) common among them. I could look it up what colors were associated with what direction. I also read they picked horses accordingly for the parts of the army - wings, vanguard, center, rearguard.
But black and white might signified dual structures of steppe people. Sources talk about black and white Hungarians, black and white Cumans, Saragurs are White Ogurs, Hephtalites were White Huns, etc. It even influenced the naming of some non-steppe people like White and Black Croats, or Qara Khitai.
Also they structured society too, people had to sit in a certain order in the Yurt, from the central position to left and right. Not sure which one was more prestigious, but I think they also used colors somehow in this division.
