The theory that red dissapears under water has been shot down many times by notable fishing shows and magazines, there is a point where it does, but it must acheive a certain depth based on water clarity to do so. As for the other colors they also depend on water clarity, in darker water you obviously want a color to match, if you fish cloudy water i recommend a lo-vis green, clear water you'll want to try Fireline Crystal or a Fluorocarbon/Mono line.

That is what I have heard also. I tried Cajun line once and it is hard to see under water. I did not like the memory it has. Fire line has no memory. I have both the smoke fire line and also the crystal fire line spooled. smoke due to the small diameter does not show in the water too much. I tried the crystal for the first time and even though the first couple of feet you can see the line, I cannot see it at deeper depths. It is no worse than any other mono out there.

I would not be too concerned with the color. Use what you can see to handle. With a good clear fluorocarbon leader you'll eliminate line visbility concerns. Red does vanish quickly in the water colum but that means red as light not a solid object. Red objects simply go black the deeper you go.
