What colors can a largemouth actually see?

Lab work on black bass vision consistently finds two cone classes, giving largemouth real discrimination in roughly the red and green parts of the spectrum — blues and purples mostly collapse into shades of dark. That is why chartreuse, red, and green pumpkin keep earning their reputations: the fish can genuinely separate them from the background. In stained water, contrast and silhouette matter more than exact hue, so pick colors for visibility first and "realism" second.
