This is Rapala BX Brat Carbon color. I actually got 2 of them from a lot sale from ebay.

I am having hard time determining whether this is a clear water or dirty water color, because the color does not seem bold enough that when I fish stained water in early morning, it'll just diminish. At the same time, it is a darker spectrum of color, so may as well be a muddy water color, too.

Any thoughts? 

*for some reason, I made a grammar mistake in the title. Apologize for that.

I would lean more towards clear water/sunny conditions with that color. Looks kind of like a muted chrome/blue pattern. 

I would throw that in everything but pea soup or chocolate milk, and even then, it would probably do ok. I'd probably opt for the larger one in dirtier water. 

I'd use something with a rattle in muddy water.

Anytime, anywhere bluegill are the main forage as long as it’s got some orange on the belly.

I'd fish that for sure, anywhere I'd use a chrome blue back I bet that'd do nicely.

It is muted, but it is not chromic. The chrome colors that lineup has is silver and pearl grey. Even then, they are not as chromic as, say, r2s biggie abalone shad or kvd 1.5 chrome sexy shad.

I think it's real purty.

I agree with Bluebasser86, clear water with sunny skies. Why it may seem a little different the color is what I would call a natural color. When I fish for crappie I also catch some bluegill and sometimes they are dark. Some are almost black while others have a metallic blue or purple tint.

Would you think it fits ghost color category? 

Someone else mentioned bluegill, which makes sense too.

Looks to me that it's a natural color that would still offer some flash, good in stained to clear water on sunny days.

Imma test this color tomorrow morning, since the conditions perfectly match all of you all's assumption. WML!
