Grey's with warm colors.
I also like combinations with brown, like brown-green, brown-orange, but never had the chance to use them.

depends on the job, because of the different moods generated by color see liquisoft.com's work on the subject: www.liquisoft.com/colortheaory.html.
Personally I'm a sucker for Red Black White, The Whole newsprint thing works well, also kind of like a deck of cards. I'm liking the use of cyan and olive though

Certain combinations of coulours do go very well together.
Blue and white.
Grey and black.
Red and black.

I always find pastel colours are the best, they are soft and not garish. in a similar fasion I almost never user neat black, I use very dary grey because it is softer and slightly more apeasing on the eye.

hmm, It's interesting looking at people's different favorites. I honestly don't have a single favorite color although I do really like combinations with blues in them.

A bit of a side note but I have heard people say that blue is the only color that the human eye cannot completely focus on, and so the sky is the perfect background - it is relaxing to your eyes because you don't have to be focused on it, it is just there...

Hmm I like using blues and blacks or reds and blacks. I also happen to like oranges/yellows with black and/or dark red.
