There are lots of sources that will recommend only using light extract. I have gotten to the point where I stick with extra light or light only, unless the beer I'm brewing is supposed to be a stout/porter color.
I'd agree with this, actually. If you're doing extract, get the lightest extract you can find. Add your color through specialty grains.
Or, just don't worry about the color and drink it in an opaque stein.

An IPA doesn't need a lot of color anyway. In fact, Just about the lightest extract will give you enough color for an IPA.
You want a real challenge as an extract brewer? Try brewing a pilsner or a blonde ale that qualifies by color using only extract.
