What difference would it make??? You are assuming that these bucktails resemble fish in some way shape or form. This is false. The reason these things work is vibration - plain and simple. While color may play a part, it is very minor except in very extreme water colors like very dark or ultra clear.
Have a ball trying to figure out a "bluegill" pattern. |

Location: MN | I fish a lake with tons of bluegills and my hot dbl #10 bait last year was blue/purple/green starflash silicon skirt with silver blades. I call it my "PBG Dbl. 10." I have to re-tie the bait because it's so chewed up.
Almost exactly matches the Llungen DC-10: Purple-Blue-Green-Black/Nickel Color Pattern. I know that Thorne Bros. carries this color, R&H might have it, otherwise Llungen will likely carry them at their booth at MN Musky Expo. If you are at the show, Matt Snyder should know what you are talking about if you mention the "PBG Colored DC-10 ~ he coined the name.

Location: Hayward, WI | Jonesi, I don't ususally buy too many loud colors, but that is one sweet looking Cowgirl! I might need to get one like that made.
Muskie! nut, if color doesn't matter at all, how can you explain your lure wall that you have pictured in this link? I see lots of duplicate makes and sizes of lures in different colors... http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=23...
Maybe color matters a little bit, sometimes.  |

On the contrary, color does make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Simply put, different colors refract different shades that may stand out more/less then the opposite type of color. Under bright sunny skies, the red of a rose stands out compared to the green stem and leaves, but in the dim of an overcast sky or waning daylight, the red rose petals appear dark and dingy, while the green of the stem/leaves stands out vibrantly.
A lof of considerations can be made relative to choosing a color, and while the intense vibration of twin tens is an attention getter, so can color. A friend of mine told me a true story of a blind musky he caught during a tournament on the mani chain one year, coincidentally running into the same fish in the same area the following year, so sure, color isn't a decision maker for all muskies all the time, but it surely can create a stimulating visual appeal to a lot of fish. . . Otherwise I can hardly understand why a musky would notice a glide bait if it relied simply on vibration.
One more detail to touch on is angling confidence. I know I'd be much happier casting a twin ten for hours if I had confidence in the color I was using next to casting an 8" wire equipped with two big blades and a hook on it.
