So I have murky water but you can see 1-3 feet clearly the two colors I’ve been told are black and blue but also green pumpkin out of those I would probably go with Black and Blue but again I’ve never fished a jig. My thinking is that Okeechobee craw looks like a mix between the tow (green pumpkin and black and blue) that seems like it would work in all water clarities is this true? Also would I have to buy both a green pumpkin jig and a black and blue (I am willing to if it is necessary?

Around here I would consider 3' of visibility clear water. I would use PB&J or green pumpkin over black & blue. I have caught bass on blk & blu with very little visibility but I usually don't use it with that much visibility.

Would an okeechobee craw work for this situation?

3 ft of vis isn't murky in my book.

That is one color I have never used but checking it out online it looks like a color I would try.

Yes

I think you are getting hung up too much on color. For soft plastics and jigs, generally darker colors work better in dirtier water and lighter or more natural colors work better in clearer water. This isn't a rule per say, think of it more as guidelines. I've caught fish in both super clear water and chocolate milk water on everything from black, yellow, blue, pink, purple, white, orange, junebug, green pumpkin, etc....The fish will tell you pretty quick what they want.

Going fishing with just 2 jigs - you're either supremely confident or just misguided.  Leading off, have at least 6 or 12 of each color.   The basic rule of thumb is that when you've got many jigs, they tend to last and should you lose one, you're not out much.  If you only have a few jigs, or just one, it is pretty much a guarantee that the lake bottom/structure/cover  will know that and will eat it.
