I kind of have a thing for Maersk Blue.

But I only work in black... (and sometimes very very dark grey).

Anyway, as far as colours go, I don't have a specific preference.  It really depends on what type of effect you want to achieve.  Happy fun rainbow-coloured fairy tale lands and gritty polluted dystopian cities will obviously have vastly different colour-schemes.

Having said that, I do love the "natural" colours LEGO has come out with, such as beige, sand green, dark red, and sand blue (though unfortunately I own very little of any of those colours).  I also use a lot of white and grey.  Personally I'm not such a huge fan of using really brightly coloured sets and props, but again it depends what style you're going for, and I would certainly use bright colours if it fitted the mood and tone I was going for.

Doing a quick search it appears the "proper" name for it is Sand Blue. I always thought of it as Maersk Blue because it appears prominently in the Maersk themed sets.

That's a very nice ship I actually just found out about the Maersk sets I had no idea they ever existed

they definitely are a unique set of bricks I just have the dark blue bricks and a whole lot of them.

Are these bricks available from bricklink cause I have not seen them.

Whoops, didn't mean sand blue, meant medium blue

Mine is dark grey.
I find myself building stuff in dark grey more than any other colour.  My Batman sets usually involve every building being totally dark grey, my outside sets have loads of dark grey rocks, and other sets I build are also have a lot of dark grey.

Grey is generally my favourite colour.  It's an odd choice, most people think grey is boring and dull, but I love it.  Mostly because of the way it helps present other colours.  More saturated stuff tends to look better next to grey, as the grey helps bring it out better.  Its good for depressing moods, and even in a bright colourful set, you can have some grey to let your eyes rest a bit.

Dark or light grey.
75 percent of the sets I build use plenty of gray colors. If you use it right, you can get a sweet looking set with realistic color. So even when doing landscape sets such as a forest, I put some rocks or dirt in just so that your eyes don't get an overload of one solid color.

If you watch a movie and you would be surprised that almost no scene is completely void of grey.

I also like dark green. If mixed correctly with normal green it can make for a more realistic mood.
