When selecting a lure anglers will go to extreme means for just the right color.  You stand in the store holding the lure up, peeking into the package and holding it under the light.  Hmmm, not quite the right color or enough silver flake and you keep searching.  Apparently bass have a highly developed ability to tell colors.  Bass lures come in numerous color patterns.  In fact preferred lure colors are normally incredibly regional or select to which body of water you are fishing.  Take for example Ozark Smoke which has a blue stripe, silver flakes, and translucent body.  This is perfect for the ultra clear reservoirs like Beaver Lake or Lake SWEPCO.  Another example is Rayburn Red lipless crankbaits which catch enormous black bass on Lake Sam Rayburn in Texas.
