Is There a Best Color for Attracting Fish?

Fly color, like most things, is cyclical. A few years ago, UV material was all the rage, before that bright colors, and of course dull tones as well. There are several adages relating to color: bright day, dull fly, bright day: bright fly. Neither makes any sense over the long term. You just have to make a best estimate as to what the fish are taking.
"Match the hatch" is probably the best rule to follow. If the hatch is green body Caddis, use that, etc.
