Maybe I am wrong but I don't think that the squid see any colours but mostly the jig shadow. Having said so the red/pink coloured jigs produce more shadow than others. However orange & green are very good jigs.

I prefer pink/red, red heads and occasionally green.....but I personally think that the type of jig and the way you make the jig move makes all the difference. Also other factors - current, conditions of sea & sky (clear or not) etc etc

I Quote skip here:

Greg has deliberately overlooked a key topic here - the use of color combinations, patterns and contrast to increase hook-up rates which can be very significant, so bear that in mind.

well done for that info, however regarding color it is very well explained in that link...Color does make a difference even if squid does not see any color...

looks like Pink and Green are still the top ones mostly used yet

i catch squids with green jigs in the light and orange and pink jigs are good were there is no light

Been catching on all colours ;) If the squid is there forget the colours my friends ;)

Colour selection seems to be something that should be determined according to the lighting conditions, whether there is more or less light, moon light etc. Colour makes a difference only for the shadows they produce.
