DNS reaction is run at a high pH, unless your buffer is at a way too high concentration the pH of the reaction should remain basic. Since acids are involved, if the buffer molecules can interact with these you can expect a change in color. Use the same buffer in the standards and you should be fine.
The basic method (and the first evaluation of the effect of the difference in amounts of the buffer components on the colour development) is described in the milestone paper by Miller (cited by a staggering 25000 times):
