It really depends on the how bass are feeding. If the water has gone up they might be feeding near shore which can be tough this time of year with a crankbait.
Typically, dark water=dark colors but there is always an exception to the rule. Rattletraps or other cranks that make noise help in dirty water.

I like throwing chartreuse colors in spinner baits and crank baits. But I also like a natural color darker than the water I am fishing if its stained. unless the fish are naturally lighter in color than usual then I'll try using white and variations of whites.
