Eye opener for sure

I'm pretty much a white, black, green pumpkin guy when it comes to soft platics. However, one of my favorite baits to fish is a zoom trick worm. They come in a wide variety of colors. According to that app, bubblegum just appears white to a fish. I can tell you that I've used a pink trick worm and white trick worm A LOT and the pink easily outfishes white. Chartreuse and yellow both appear yellow on that app, but I have had much better success on yellow than I ever had with chartreuse.

100% agree with this. Except I gave up on the yellow and chartreuse too, and only fish pink. 
 

I’ve gone through 100’s of these worms. Probably more in the thousands. No way pink and white look the same to a fish because white won’t catch monkey dodo.

Red shows up well in the app. I guess the pink has more draw than white to a fish because it has red in it? Don’t know, I’m not a fish

Because, again, you have no idea what they can or cannot see. 

Again.  Exactly!

I'm convinced walleye dig chartreuse, and so do smallies.  Going by practical experience of course.

I like Old Purple and Green Pumpkin/Purple for Trick worms.  I don't want to know what the app says about purple.  I'll stay ignorant and keep on fishing.

Walleye love fire tiger, silver, white, and purple/blue.

Bass love purple, brown, red, black, green, and chartreuse.

White bass, hybrids, and stripers love white/silver.

I have come to believe it is actually a what can they see or not proposition, all based upon a white and black perception combined with vibration and smell.

Will thta change color choices i follow after many years? No.

Yet Crappie, who should only need to be capable of seeing black & white......are the most color picky fish of all time.  😅

There are times when I don't think fish know what thy want or should want.
