Orange and green on this one. I hate the pic as the head looks like powder blue but it isn't, it is a pale green that Itried to make that would end up a shade lighter than baby bass green but I did go a touch too heavy on the white. This is a 1/16oz head, I tied some lime green with green flake silicone skirt strands to the hook and then wrapped it with green and orange cactus chenille intertwined and inished off with the orange hackle collar. I have a hard time wasting material so I sill have some usable orange hackle that I really want to throw out but can't, that is the OCD problem I have but it is ok as long as I can put it to good use. I also forgot to add the green flash as well.

Nice jig!!!! If you want a shade lighter than the baby bass green you might try an olive mix, it would go good with the colors you have tied in there. 2 parts yellow, 1 part flat black (mix is from a member here) and shake the heck out of it to mix.

That color combo will work for you. I tie a crappie jig that is close to your colors but with a little yellow mixed in the body and it is one of my best combos. I enjoy seeing different color combos. Nice tying.
