Anyone have success with the dark colors in stained water. I'm new to the swimbait game, just fish stained water. Looking at the 4.3 size with mostly bluegill being the forage baitfish. 

Not the Keitech, but this past weekend I threw the Rage Swimmer, which is essentially the same shape, in chocolate milk water. I threw the electric shad color, which wasn't ideal but was the darkest color I had on me. In clearer water I think the blue in that color does an okay job of mimicking bluegill.

 

In the very short time I was throwing it, I did catch one. I think the wide kick of the tail sends out enough vibration that it was able to catch one in such muddy water even though the color wasn't ideal. I stopped throwing it only because the spot I was fishing was so weed choked that it was just catching too many weeds (the only thing that was working for me and not catching weeds was a weightless t-rigged Senko dragged over the top of the weeds). Were it not for that, I would have liked to keep giving it a try. I would think a dark color would work well in stained water.

I've used SunGill or something like that in darker waters or where there are a lot of bluegill. 

Black with blue flake and male perch have worked for me in those conditions.

I throw the 3.8 a good bit. I would have to look at the name of the color. It some bright ass blue with black flake.

I should have added that 3.8 is my favorite size by far.
