Pumpkinseed
Watermelon Red Flake

Solid black
bigturtle reply :
Any opaque color will be fine

There are a ton of really good ones. Put the bait up to the light and if you can't see through it, use it. Watermelon is generally a clear water bait, but if it works it works. You could dye the tail for dingy water.
Some of my favorite colors for dark water are grape, black, and black/blue.

Junebug
Bluebasser86 reply :
By Cedar water I'm assuming you mean tannic. I've had very good luck in water with that type of stain with golden shiner, solid black, plum apple, and Junebug.
wdp reply :
Black with red glitter.
RyneB reply :
June bug, I also like green pumpkin with something chartreuse on it, black neon
Hot Rod Johnson reply :
I fish brightly colored baits in Dingy or Muddy Waters. In dingy water, Dense Colors are the rule, and two-color Worms with Bright Tails offer added visibility. Examples are Grape, Black or Blue Baits with Chartreuse, Red or Orange Tails. You can use Spike It Dip-N-Glo Worm Dye, JJ's Magic Dippin' Dye, or CS Coatings UV Blast Worm Dip. With Soft Plastic Baits such as Worms, Lizards, Grubs and Tubes carry only a few shades.

WIGuide reply :
If you're talking about tanic water, a few of my favorties are red shad, grape shad, electric blue, and black.
the reel ess reply :
Something dark, as a rule works well in dark waters. combos with black in them work well. Purple is killer.
But I fish off-color water year round and I have success with bubble gum, methiolate and lime as well as those dark colors. Try them all.
