My personal opinion is that color can matter at times, but action matters all the time. Some of the blending/pearls/irredecents may help at times. If it gives the fisherman more confidence in the lure, then that is the biggest help. Do you have to get the plug paint to completely match the bait? No. Basic stuff does just fine. For example, in a local creek, all of the minnows have a bronze to gold flash to them and are tan to olive on their backs. Simple olive back, pearl belly, and either fog the sides with gold or put some gold glitter in the epoxy coat and you are good to go. I've done as well there with a simple paint scheme like that as I have one that matches the bait better. I've also nailed fish after fish with the simple scheme while someone fishing with me throwing a plug with silver in it could hardly buy a bite. Why, silver is not a natural color in the creek, gold is. Thats what makes the difference.
