You know the more I research about this the more opinions I gather. I believe that the colors you mentioned are great colors, although I can say that there I have used almost no Chartreuse (I'll have to change that).
Here are some of my findings may help support why black is effective in many conditions: while researching some dry fly patterns I came across an atlantic salmon informational that suggested that their view field is more of a cone, and this cone limits their field to upwards & slightly forwards. Even though this article was for atlantic salmon it suggested that all salmanoids share this trait. This supports a lot with the writings of DH, EW and some of great fisherman who have all noted that steelhead rise to flies as they are looking up. To imitate this field of vision, it would be like laying on your back and looking forward ( away from your body), there is still a lot you can see but the point is that you can see up and in front of you the best. So how does this relate to the color black. I have started to take more time to look at my flies from underneath, as that is how steelhead will see them. An interesting note is that under direct light ( fluorescent ) while viewing my flies from straight below ( contrasting to the light) almost all the colors appear darker, almost black. This was especially true for the sparser patterns.
So maybe that is one explanation on why fish like black so much, dosen't matter what color their prey is, to them the silhouette makes black a common appearance. Or maybe I'm just crazy and reading way too far into this.
