Extremely subjective question. I try to "match the hatch" and adjust based on water color. E.g. if crawfish are predominant, I go with a similar color. Murky water gets something added on to draw light like chartreuse or fluorescent colors.

A dark green to black usually gets the most bites. Even a copper/red mix does a good job.

I'm not sure what baits your talking baits your talking about if your going with anything that looks like a fish I'd say match the natural forage which is usually bluegill, If worms then maybe a blueish or something.

I agree with everyone, try to match the natural forage. However, for worms I find a purplish shade typically works well in a variety of water conditions for me. Also, I find that motor oil color works particularly well.

I like silver minnows with a black top, I've had lots of luck with chrome with various color stripes. I was hammering large mouth last Friday with a pumpkin seed twin tailed grub Texas rigged. Had luck with black or black with yellow tails grubs, worms and lizzards. Purple has proven to be very productive as well. I'll try lots of different colors from black to white and even those bubble gum pink worms. I've got some light pink grubs with darker pink tails that have pulled them in as well. If I were you I'd pick up several different packs of plastics ranging from very dark to mid range like pumpkin seed and greens to whites and work them all.
