This color thing got me looking into the biology of a basses eye. You do know that at night they can not see color at all...even on a bright moon lit night. Mark Sosin's "Through a fishes eye" book goes into fishes sight in detail (he has a co-author who is a expert in this area). They have two sets of light receptors, one set that work only in the day (which can see color) and one set that work in the darkness (which can not see color). There is a period (dawn and dusk) where BOTH of them work and they then have superior eyesight and an advantage over they prey. This is why it is a prime time for them to feed during those periods.

So at night it really shouln't matter one way or the other.
