Here's mine- body color followed by tail color
Black/Chartreuse
Blue/White
Black/Blue
Pink/Chartreuse
Grey/Grey
Red/White

How about grey/white

Let's see. Math says 6*5*4*3*2*1=720 possible combinations, lol.

I'm a fly tyer not a jig tyer, so my perspective is a little different. I will almost always stick with the colors of camoflauge first: tan, brown, black and olive. To that I'd add something in the white/silver family, and blue/violet family. That covers all the basic forage that the fish will prey on.

#1 Glow pearl/chart.#2 Glow black/chart,# 3 Glow red/chart. colors will catch them clear or stained water deep or shallow.

Who needs six?

Gimme chartreuse and white, and I'll do OK.

I would go with my spring and fall time jigs, 1/32 Roadrunner in these colors, but I do have a few more! These will fit most any water condition!
