Default More Color Questions

I did a post on Hook color and understand that color is not an issue.But I was woundering if color washes out in a few feet of water why do corkies and jigs seem to have colors that work better than others. Im not tring to be dense but I find this interesting.

Click the link for some good reading on color selection for fishing, and how colors are seen throughout the water column.

Some colors do "wash out" as you go lower into the water collumn. But florecent colors gather light and keep their color.
