Black and chartreuse seams to work every where you go but it's not always be best. It's best to have a good selection of light and dark colors and different styles of bait. Some baits like curly tails give of vibration, tubes and minnow type baits like Bobby garlands don't put out much vibration. As far as colors all that have been mentioned are good you'll just have to find out what works for you pretty soon you will find your favorite color.
