A lake near me is pretty Dark. It's not dirty. It's dark ceder water. What Plastic colors do you all think is best? I'll list a few and you tell me some special colors i missed.

 

Black and Blue

Pumpkinseed

Watermelon Red Flake

 

Solid black

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

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.

Black with red glitter. 

June bug, I also like green pumpkin with something chartreuse on it, black neon

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.

Anything with Chartreuse.

Black, junebug, green pumpkin, or blue sapphire.

Thanks guys!! I'm making a decent order to get some new Colors.

If you could would you post up a pic of the water so we can see what your calling dark water sir.

Black  chartreuse .

If you're talking about tanic water, a few of my favorties are red shad, grape shad, electric blue, and black. 

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.

Black, purple, and junebug.

I'd add a Cluprit color called Fire'n Ice too but I don't want to give away all my secrets haha

I also fish in dingy water. Culprit's black-shad is a go to for me. Dark black with silver belly & tail.

Or Cluprit's moccasin colors

Anything with chartreuse works well at my local lake. It has dark water most of the year.
