Solid dark color, solid light color, and a contrast of dark/light. For a while I was too caught up in fancy colors. Now I stick to the basic pattern I just noted. I really think this will cover you on 95% of the scenarios you will run into. Are there times when one color seems to blow away others? Yes, but it is really hard to tell if it is something the user is doing different or if it is actually the color difference. We all have had experiences where we have stood next to guy using the exact same plug but doubles our results. Worry more about presenting plugs properly and at the right time and color will fall a distant 3rd place, IMO. Of course, your results may vary!
