Green works best for me only because it easily attracts water bugs and then minnows/silversides/shads. Crappies will come, but the crazy suicidal ones are always the dumb small ones who takes my bait first. The bigger ones are sitting down there patiently. If you ever can, get yourself an underwater camera and watch those larger crappies suspend while those small ones fight for your bait. Moving spots will sometimes work, but as you know, it is so hard resetting up, re-anchoring, retying the boat to another tree, all at night.
