Re: lure colour
All of the above!
- Like to compare "natural" - silver, with "gaudy" - firetiger, etc.
Also like black / white, contrasting sides or stripes, to be noticed - or maybe hedge my bets!
Suspect colour usually matters more to us that fish, though.

In the past tho, fishing around the Nottinghamshire area, pearl blue glitter jelly shads were a go to for me.

Re: lure colour
I have never done very well on Fire-Tiger, I always try to have 4 go to colours with me Something Silvery, something perchy something dull and something bright, dull and bright can often be black or pink.
If I know where I'm fishing I can take that down to 2.
Are colours important? Only sometimes.

Today it was silver. Yesterday it was perch pattern. Never had a favourite colour.

Re: lure colour
I tend to use what the pike want. Firetiger works almost everywhere and in most conditions as a winning pattern. But lure colour is usually 3 or 4 down the list when it comes to deciding what to clip on the leader. I was out on one of resis last week and despite a lot of chopping and changing, both the 20's I had came on purple castaics
