I think colors take a back seat when it comes to reflection & vibration(sound/ action) & smell. Striped bass (& other game fish & animals for that matter) have adapted to pick up on these things.
If you eat at night you better have a few tricks up your sleeve when it comes to finding food. I think evolution has taken care of this with most animals by giving them other means of finding prey rather than relying on only sight.
Or to be politically correct,
"God" has given animals these abilities since the creation of earth.
Yet I still prefer to fish white plugs or other light colors, since they are the most visible.
