It's my opinion that how the lure is fished, depth, speed, action, size, vibration from a given lure is far more important compared to color particularly with pike who are sensory feeders.
Having said that - the colors I tend to gravitate to based on conditions are ...
Overcast/darker days = a Black/Gold, Black/Brass, Red/Black and other darks ...
Bright/Sunny = Fire tigers, White Silver, White/Silver, Chartreuse etc...
Best lures for me are large, noisy and heavy lures fished fast when the fish are aggressive and smaller lures and softer profiles when fish are in a negative or lazy mood.
