Thank you both for the great information. I realized that I posted a broad question. To get more specific and it was touched on briefly. I want to buy a color kit but not sure if Opaque, Pearl, or transparent is better since I mostly wanna paint shad patterns and start to learn bluegill pattern.

Hi everyone I am still new to painting my own crankbaits. I normally paint gizzard shad, sexy shad and other natural shad patterns. I paint for myself and for family and friends, not looking to sell them or create a business. So my question is what are the must have colors to keep on hand. I am venturing out to learn a bluegill pattern, craw pattern and possibly a crappie pattern. But I want to grow as a painter make sure I have the colors needed to accomplish and learn with.
