Water clarity and lure selection

I thought this would be good to discuss. This post was prompted after reading GS and Fisherwoman talk about their boat trip in crystal clear water.
Anyway , my opinion has always been opposite of what was expressed in that thread. I have always believed that for clear water , you want very hi visibility colors for your lures and that for murky water , you want dull colors.

For example , in very dark water on very dark nights , black eels work fine. Black lures , gray lures , brown lures work in dirtier water. For sunny days in clear water , it appears to me that gold and silver or white and Chartruese work well.

Anyway , as I said , my experiences have been that bright lures work in bright water and dull lures work in dirtier water.

What's other peoples experiences with this?
