I think my best color is neon (black with red fleck) or straight white in colder water .
-
Selecting one color would be tough. I like the Original 7.5" Culprit worm. I guess my goto color would be Pumpkinseed/Chartreuse Tail. Other worms that usually produce for me are Grape Shad, Red Shad, and Watermelon Pepper.
-
White or off-white and neon green
-
black or i forget the color but it was something like green pumpkinseed
-
I used to have a system where all my plastics were of three colors. Yellow, black or white. Now with the plastics you have a hard time finding those colors. I have just been getting stuff that seems to be somewhat of a natural color. I don't use that many worms, I seem to use lizzard plastics or better yet the creyfish. They creyfish seem to be the best. They are hard to find but the ones impregnated with air so they float with a #2 weedless hook seem to work best for the way I fish. I have a bullet weight ahead of them about 6" and just bounce off the bottom and snap through the weeds. Seem to get bigger fish being deeper.

Grape-Purple fleck-Green all the rest just sit in the tackle box.
-
Cherryseed GULP turtleback worm!!!! No weight. KILLS EM!
-
Watermelon or pumpkin, hands down.
-
depends on the water clarity you always want the most relistic worm for the water your fishing but once in a while its fun to throw and odd ball out and see if you get any hits i have had most of my luck i a clear/dull worm riged wacky
-
Purple with a green tail. Or any combination of those colors with or without each other. Also, add some shiny speckles or whatever you want to call them.
-
If I have to go bright, I will throw a green. But i prefer the Blood worm color.... DARK red/maroon with some black/brown mixed in. Purple can be substituted for the red also.
I dont fish Bass with plastics much, but those are the colors when I do.

Way too much info! If you want to break it down try this.
1. Sinker (salted)
2. Floater
3. Dark
4. light
1 and 2 are the most important. Water clarity decides 2 and 3. Keep it simple.. A salted worm will not do what you want on a shakey head,you want a floater. A salted worm will be an awesome wacky style rig. They are heavy and can be fished with a plain hook with no weight.
Look at it this way- 2 screwdrivers (standard and Phillips), a crescent wrench, a hammer and a knife can get you through a lot of projects. Keep it simple.
-
I never use plastic worms, only plastic I use are twister tails and I keep it simple with Chartreuse, Chartreuse, Chartreuse, and I little white every now and then. I do a good mixture of Mississippi Fishing and lake fishing and since I was younger I have always used Chartreuse and never had any problems with it whether it be cold or hot and clear or muddy.
-
If I had to pick one, I would go with dark reds/maroons with green fleck. It seems to work the best in moderately clear, weedy lakes for me.
-
I use whatever color they are when they come out of the ground, but they are not plastic.
