I really think that any of the more popular colors will produce from shore or from a boat...its really just mind over mater...if you fish them with confidence you should produce...one of my favorite colors is bubblegum pink...watermelon is always a good color as is the one chaos mentioned, any thing with that green and black color combanation is deadly...another way I like to choose mine is will it disappear if it lays on the bottom...the same way I pick the colors of a jig I want to fish if I'm not usin the old deadly black and blue combo....sometime when I find myself thinkin about this type of questions I check out what bassdozer.com has on info...have picked up alot of good stuff from there and remeber to take it all with a grain of salt and adpate it to your situtation...tight lines hope I helped...!
