Default Homemade Jig colors?

I have started to make some steelhead jigs recently, so far i am only making the kind with yarn/cheniel like the head hunters. I have made a variety of colors, my favorite so far is white cheniel with cerice yarn. So my question for you guys is, what other colors of jigs would you guys recomend, and prefer to make, in the cheniel/yarn way? Thanks!

Well, pink and white are the standards. Cerise is a good choice as well as orange. Don't forget to tie up some with black in them for limited visibility conditions.

can't go wrong with black body and red or pink tale. You also cant beat an all white jig with a black head, I've had good succes with that color in clear water. I've also had good luck with black and chartruse (sp).
