It's always good to get a bite!
It's hard to tell what is a deciding factor when you change flies and start
catching. Perhaps it's a slight change in size. Perhaps it's a slight change
in the way it floats on the water. Perhaps it's a slight change in the
density of hackle.
I would be interested to see the pictures you describe.
I won't even begin to start banging on about people who use red flies in
over 10 foot of water........

Ooooooh! Chris has floated this one out there ever so gently, right down

Nice presentation. Okay, I'll bite:
My own experiences would seem to indicate that at times with dry flies,
color (colour) can be
a deciding factor. This has been true for me from panfish to bass to
trout.
I would say also there are very few times (at least for myself) that the
fly floats so high that it becomes
just a shadow. I have seen some photos taken from under water of
floating
flies and colors were
visible.
Now, reel me in!

Further to Joseph's e-mail, colour isn't important for dry flies. Assuming
the fly is floating then all the fish sees is a shadow against the
brighter
sky. Colour is not important for dries.

I have very good color perception and I don't see any shift in color when
I use Rain-X. In fact, I dip my dry flies in Rain-X right after I tie
them. Then I don't have to worry about treating them when I first tie
them on.
