First off, I'm new to the site, fish and live on Long Island but love fishing for stripers so I decided to join this site to talk more about 'em. Anyway enough about me, colors. I too have most every color of everything and use black and white the majority of the time. Color may be important at certain times which may be LOW light times of day such as sunset, sunrise, and overcast days and during these times yellow and chartreuse seem to do very well. my reasoning is:
Bright Days/nights whatever bait you seem to see in the water appears to be white or pearl colored based on the bright light and the angle you are looking at them, so suspeneded bass my have the same angle and see the same colors. If they are on the bottom and looking up into the bright light I would assume they see the same I may see looking up into bright light which is a black silloutte which is why black may produce during the day but white would give the same silloute with the added advantage of the looking at its sides where color may matter.
Dark nights everything looks black,shadowy, sillouttes, so throw black plugs as there is not enough light to create the reflections of color and light.
Cloudy days/sunset/sunrise you don't have the bright sunlight to create the strong reflections you get on bright sunny days which washes colors out, if I remember correctly from art and science classes while in school white is every color, black is absence of color, so less or softer light of overcast days may not be so harsh to wash out every color into a pearl and allow more "color" or one particular color to be visable and that colors seems to be a chartruese or yellow.
Thats my idea. Excellent site by the way.
