Buzzbait colors

[rodnreel]

So with the buzzbait bite picking up here I have been wondering about what colors would be best during certain conditions. I was reading the May issue of Bassmaster magazine last night and came across an article that interviewed Gerald Swindle about this very thing. Part of it mentioned that he likes to use small buzzbaits (1/8 to 1/4 oz.) this time of year around spawning flats. He also stated that he likes to use white for cloudy, low light conditions and black for bright sunny days. Isn't this opposite from conventional topwater thinking? I could almost swear that you were supposed to use white on the bright days and darker colors on cloudy days...can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!
