I have so many favorites and you want me to pick just one!?!?!
I like Bordering Blue, Eggplant Envy, Old Olive, and More Mustard.
But then there's Eggplant Envy, Cameo Coral, and Creamy Caramel.
But what about Bareley Banana, Cameo Coral, Ballet Blue, and Orchid Opulence?
Or Lavender Lace, Blush Blossom, Almost Amethys and Pretty in Pink?
Then I think of Ballet Blue, Green Galore, and Positively Pink and I just can't make up my mind!!!
One I recently enjoyed using is Rose Red and Olive Green.
And I tried a card from the inspiration sheet for All Natural last night that was Old Olive, Ruby Red, More Mustard and Creamy caramel and fell in love!
I go through streaks, making new discoveries and must-do combinations, so that my favorites change weekly. Check back next week.
I agree, it's hard to pick just one and I also go in spurts. But I currently have been loving Rose Red and Cameo Coral, and maybe throw in a little More Mustard.
So many color Combos, so little time!
Right now, for summer, I've been doing a lot of Pink Passion, Green Galore and Only Orange! Bright and Fresh!
But, fall will be here before I know it - and it will be: Mellow Moss, Ruby Red and creamy caramel. Or Old Olive and Basic Black. Or.....
Well, I am just starting my collection, but right now my favs are:pale&perfect plum, and rose romance & pretty in pink, and mellow moss with them!
I will be getting some new stamps pads this week:old olive, more mustard and really rust! Can't wait to make some fall cards with those!!!!!
Like several others on here, my all time favorite continues to be Perfect Plum and Mellow Moss. I have been doing alot with Bliss Blue and Mellow Moss lately as well.

I am a bold bright kind of girl, so my very favorite combination is lovely lilac, yoyo yellow and tempting torqouise. Then of course, I love lovely lilac, pink passion, and green galore, too! Lovely lilac, ballet blue and positively pink. Orchid opulence and green galore. Ballet blue and lavender lace. Lovely lilac and glorious green, etc. I think you get the idea! I love eggplant envy with old olive, too.
I had inspiration from Lana and just made a covered composition book with Brocade Blue, Night of Navy, and More Mustard...talk about nice! Those colors are wonderful together! I will post a pic if anyone would like to see it!
I guess my favorite would have to be for using Terrific Tulips. I like doing the tulips in summer sun and more mustard, rose romance and ruby red, and pale plum and perfect plum, with stem and leaves in old olive or mellow moss.
I did a make-n-take card at a workshop using those colors and everyone just loved it.

All time favorite has long been Tempting Turquoise + Gable Green. Lana and I have formed a club. :!:
BUT, I must confess, I'm (to my surprise) finding myself taken with:
Chocolate Chip + Pretty in Pink.
Other combos I enjoy:
Blush Blossom + Mellow Moss
Only Orange + Bliss Blue + Gable Green or Green Galore
Barely Banana + Baroque Burgundy (yeah, sounds weird, but with toile stamps it totally rocks!)
Not Quite Navy + Old Olive or Mellow Moss
Barely Banana + Real Red + Pretty in Pink + Gable Green
Bordering Blue + Creamy Caramel
Real Red + Green Galore for Christmas (!)
Almost Amethyst + Bliss Blue + Mellow Moss
" + " + Mint Melody or Barely Banana (for baby stuff)
More Mustard + Ruby Red + Old Olive

Your post got me to thinking of making myself a small tag style swatch book that has brush strokes in a row from the markers for each combo I love to use.
Hmmmmmmmm............. I wonder if that would make a good downline or Hostess gift .....?

Ballet Blue & Green Galore. Love it so much I pinned real maps up on every inch of wall space in my baby's room.
It's like a Ballet Blue and Green Galore paradise in there.
Of couse, if he'd been a girl, it would have been Positively Pink and Green Galore, or Real Red & Green Galore, but I digress.
Now that I think of it, all the rooms in our house seem to be SU colors!
Most of it is Real Red & Mellow Moss.
Right now -
Ballet Blue, Green Galore and Summer Sun.
Rose Romance, Rose Red and Old Olive.
Lovely Lilac, Green Galore and White
YoYo Yellow, Pink Passion and Green Galore.
Tempting Turqoise, Green Galore, Basic Black and white
Summer Sun, Real Red and Green Galore and white.

Thank you for reminding me that WHITE is a color! LOL! :lol: My SIL made a card years ago with flowers stamped in white and it is still one of my faves. Gotta get out my white pad soon!

favorite SU! color combo
My ABSOLUTE favorite color combo is:
Not Quite Navy, Sage Shadow, and Barely Banana
I also substitute the following for the banana:
Pale Plum
Mauve Mist
Almost Amethyst
Creamy Caramel
when I make anything using these colors, I always use the ultrasmooth vanilla, ivory organdy ribbon, and silver or gold cord (silver with the PP,MM, and AA colors, gold with the BB and CC)
I hope you get the chance to use this color combination sometime!

Well, my favorite color is black (I always joke that a psychoanalyst could have a ball with that statement! ), so...
My favs of the moment are:
Basic Black and Brushed Copper (sooo glad SU! added all that copper!)
Basic Black, Real Red, and Brushed Gold (especially for my Asian cards!)
Basic Black, More Mustard, and Taken with Teal (sounds weird, but I like it...)
for monochromatic, I really love Bordering Blue and Not Quite Navy with silver accents...
I also like Barely Banana, Old Olive, and Ruby Red...
or Old Olive, Marvelous Magenta, and Creamy Caramel (or Kraft)...
I'm going to stop now, as this could end up being a long, long post!!

P.S. Thanks for posting the link to the journal, Keri...it's gorgeous!
The one I used today was rose romance, gable green, and taken with teal
I also like chocolate chip and cameo coral, real red and cameo coral, blush blossom and cameo coral, I guess you could say I really like cameo coral and try to combine it as often as I can!
The tag swatch sounds like a fantastic idea! For what it's worth, I think it would make an awesome hostess gift! or downline aid! or newbie stamper gift!
Keep the colors coming, I'm excited to try some of these combos! Sometimes I just can't find the effect I'm looking for with the Color Coach, and I need a little kick to find the flare!
Happy Stampin'!
