Color does matter, don't exactly know why, especially in the dark. What I do know is that you have captured perfectly the effect known as Snell's Window. That is how fish see anything on the surface. They can feel or sense it long before it comes into there circle of vision created by light refracting on a 45 degree angle when it hits the water. Depending on depth and clarity of water ( our northern waters being so rich in plankton etc that's why it's green in appearence) the fish have less range of vision to the surface. the shallower the smaller the cone around them. You can see them at fifty yards but often they can't see you until right near your feet or just shy of the boat. Works well in flats fishing especially when wading and sneaking up on fish. All you have to do is stay low to the water. It works especially well in Striped bass as they spend most time looking up. It's the way their eyes are positioned on thier heads and add the semi binocular vision. Cool pics thanks!
