Nice chart
 
I must say that over time and with the huge variety of colours and patterns it can get confusing.
 
Hence I have come to the conclusion that lure colours can be classified into 3 catergories
Dark - Most common is Black/Purple
Light - Most common is Blue/White
Bright - Most common is Fruit Salad
 
With these 3 variations one can much easier decide what to use and you just classify all your colours into these categories, makes life much simpler
