In my analysis of BTN v BB spots, I don't see such a strong effect. Whether the board is two-tone or rainbow, the equities run extremely close, and the ranks of the flop cards have a much bigger effect on equity than suitedness does. I'd guess your pre-flop ranges must be quite different to the ones I'm using.
e.g. On KT7r, I have the BTN on 57.55% equity (a significant equity advantage, since with my ranges and 40 different flops, the BTN's average equity vs the BB is 53.8%).
On KT7 ttx (with the King and ten in the same suit), BTN has 56.96%.
On KT7 xtt (with the ten and seven in the same suit), BTN has 57.02%.
On KT7m (monotone), BTN has 55.2%, and this 2.3% reduction in equity may have significance. (Indeed, it partly explains why the BB donkbets the monotone board at a high frequency).
On A84r, BTN has 55.47%
A84ttx, BTN has 54.8%
A84xxt, BTN has 55.4%. Again the BB caller does
slightly better when there is a flush draw, but it's less than a 1% improvement in equity.
I think it stands to reason that an optimal calling range would play well whether the board is rainbow, two-tone or monotone. It would be quite peculiar, imo, if the suitedness of a flop helped one player considerably more than the other.
EDIT: I might find some different things in UTG v BTN spots, but I've only just started with those, so haven't got all the data yet.
