What color would you use of the spinner bait in murky water?

Black with a # 5 Colorado blade. Same thing I use at night.

[MIbassyaker]

All of the ones available on your link would probably be good, but I like "Firebug" and "Firefly".

[scaleface]

Something bright . That Hornet color looks pretty good .

[NittyGrittyBoy]

Dark colored skirts and big thumpin blades

[jimmyjoe]

   I use the Wasp, and I use it in the shallows. Seems to work OK. For deeper dirty water, I'd agree with @NittyGrittyBoy.                   jj

Locust or Wasp for both color and blades.

[Dens228]

White/chartreuse or a shad with a chartreuse dip on the tail of my trailer. 

For spinnerbaits it's all about the thump as far as I'm concerned.

This has been my go-to spinnerbait in dirty water here lately, the white/chartreuse with red/gold blades in a 1/2oz specifically.

I've fished a lot of ponds and lakes with " murky " water, and have caught my fair share of bass on a spinnerbait, my goto color is always white, or sometimes a shad pattern that has a bunch of white in it.

[Jig Man]

Three colors that I would use are bleeding shad, white and chartreuse in that order.

[Ski]

Chartreuse and White.

I think that 1 to 2 feet of visibility is nearly perfect spinner bait water and pretty much all colors & forms are in play.   Where you got a foot of visibility and that's it I'll generally use white or white/chartreuse and I've had some success with chartreuse/purple.    I don't use trailer hooks all that often, I nearly always use a soft plastic trailer.   Current favorite is the BPS Cajun trailer, white with chartreuse tips.

It is always interesting to see the difference of opinion on this topic. Some guys want to go as bright and outrageous as possible. Other the darkest option as possible. Who is to say who is right.

Same color I use in every other water conditions: White or white and chartreuse.

Speaking of Nichols products I have had my eye on this for a bit:

1. Contrast against what? in dirty water the background is dark

2. As long as they're equally opaque, silhouettes of bright and dark baits are basically the same.

What he said. Don’t get too caught up on color

[jbsoonerfan]

This with a white/chart Keitech fat impact

[NittyGrittyBoy]

Even though the water is dirty, focus on forage. What are the fish normally accustomed to eating? If shad, definitely throw white. If bluegill, throw dark colors. 

 

Your simply creating a silhouette the fish are accustomed to seeing and adding some flash and vibration. Dont over think muddy water.

Yeah, I think this is the actual correct answer.  Be approximate about forage type, but save your deep worry about colors for other conditions.

Strike king midnight special. Goes nice and slow with a solid thump.
