What colors do you guys feel are essential ones to have for painting cranks, jerks or topwaters?

And any personal preferences too.

 Thanks 

2 colors I throw the most is Bone and a semi transparent body with blue on the back.

Deep diving Red does well in early spring.

 

The water I fish is gin clear.

Good luck.

I’m interested in what actual paint colors guys are using to paint their baits. 
Don’t know if I made that clear.

They are already clear...

 

 

Topwater - black and white

Crankbait - brown and green

Jerkbait - red and yellow

all the colors you want.

Airbrush paints I use the most right now:

 

White

Black

Brown

Orange

Crimson red

Pearl

Translucent gray

Detail moss green

Detail sepia

 

Now I have a lot of different colors but I use the ones above the most.

Thank you Allen. That’s what I was looking for.

I recommend watching some of the lure painting videos on YouTube. Most will tell you exactly what colors they are using. This is how I found out about sepia.
