Thanks for this! I wonder how white does on this scale

Cool Charts.

I would have thought that yellow would be far more visible than black in any water.

We dropped our go pro down to 140' jigging the Cht Lucanus jig in front of it and it still looked Cht at 140'

But were you using the fisheye lens?

I read a book last year that really got into this same subject. I forget the name but will find out and post the title here. It was very scientific and in most cases boring but I found the chapter on how fish see kinda interesting. A fish's eye changes throughout the day. More specifically, the cones in the eye.
Fish see colors differently at different depths as the above chart shows but they also see colors differently in the morning then they do in the afternoon. It's very complex.
Thanks for the chart, it's a great tool.

Afrin *typo* at warbaits taught me light with light and dark with dark (in reference to daylight). I didnt ask about water clarity though but judging by daylight hasnt led me wrong
