I believe chartreuse is always a good option. In saltwater and in fresh. This is my go too color. I hope it works for you.

Well here in Fl on the saltwater side of things, color really doesn't matter, but yet sometimes it does. Basically what we do here in Fl is what we call "match the hatch" which means try to match as close as you can to the bait fish in the area. In clear water, the lighter the color the better. In dirty or murky water you want to use a darker color. Especially in darker water because the fish can't see per say, but they can decipher the darker shadows and the vibrations. While matching the hatch, you try and get as close to color as you can, yet you want your bait to stand out from the bait fish. Something with a gold or silver flake added. The fish wont hit the lure if it looks identical to everything else they are feeding on. But, as stated in previous comments, white body with a red jig head works very well here as well. Top waters are the same. Once you have mastered Walking The Dog, 99% of the time it's on. Nothing better than watching a big ole stud red or snook busting the water to hit your bait. As well, alot of it is you will just have to keep switching baits to see what there interest is at the moment. Nothing could be hitting on a paddle tail, but they are tearing the hell out of a jerk bait. For the most part, once you figure out how to master each type of bait you are using, the rest is second nature. And once you also learn how to read the water, success will follow.
