So yesterday, I was cleaning and found my set of colored pencils, which reminded me that, oh yeah, I know how to draw. As I was doing some doodles (none very good), I realized that almost every time I draw I try to combine red and white, and that I simply adore the way they contrast each other, the way the whites tends to make the reds more vibrant and vice versa. This got me thinking about how two color combos are everywhere: sports teams always have two colors, business signage, business dress and even automobiles tend to be duo-chrome. Just one color looks drab and boring, and three or more colors tends to look 'busy' and distracting, so we seem to be designed to appreciate the two-color look.
So what's your favorite two-color combination? Red/white? Pink/black? Orange/purple?
Edit- just to clarify, I'm not talkin' about what colors to put in your Magic decks.
Actually, one of my friends has been saying that for as long as I've known her.
Sounds like she has good taste haha. Green is also my favorite color. One of my hobbies is racing remote control cars and i painted the body of my buggy green and purple with a orange pinstripe seperating them. Really makes the colors pop. Especially since i dyed the wheels a deep purple that matches the purple on the body.

You will now start noticing this color combination everywhere.
Cracked pointed this out as well, and there's another detailed blog post about the trend. It goes far beyond the posters. It's definitely one of those "once you see it you can't unsee it" kind of things.

That reminds me of the late 1990 Raybrig NSXs that raced in the former JGTC in Japan. It was mainly purple with vivid red details and green wheels. And I used to love those, it really catches you.
I'm a huge fan on blue with brown/tan tones (I usually match my clothes with that, haters gonna hate), and red with white and black for other things like football jerseys and race cars.
When it comes to blends:
Green <-> Light blue/cyan
Blue <-> Pink
Red <-> Yellow
I usually think with these six colors in mind, so if I had to put them into three pairs, that's how I like to see them.
Also, when it comes to text-on-color, the color schemes I like look something like this:
Just in general, my favorite color combination is Neon Green on Black.
Whenever I'm playing a video game where I get to choose what my character looks like, I find that a color theme I routinely go back to is: blue or pink hair, white clothes, with gloves/boots/accessories matching the hair color.

And yet, Deakins has never won an Oscar for cinematography.
Orange has pretty much been my favorite color, I really like orange and white as a color scheme personally. Anecdotally, it feels like a creamsickle.

Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.

Hugo got an Oscar on cinematography. Can someone explain to me how?
It's one of the most teal&orange movies I've ever seen.
Oscar is not a reference for good movies or such. One could claim it is a prize for being famous, for wasting lots of money or scoring big on box office.

Personally I like the combination of red and white as well, it really looks nice on jerseys like Liverpool FC's.

I do like blue with silver or gray though. Aside from that, I tend to go for different shades of the same color.
Any combination of green and purple or yellow and purple are vibrant and "royal" looking.
Orange and light blue has long been my favorite color combination.
Navy and yellow also work very well together.
Red and Gold
Red and Black
Oh look, there's my entire wardrobe.

GREEN AND PURPLE OH GOD THE IMAGES
yep, that combo has been ruined by my daily dose.

I'll also agree that Blue and Brown tones can look nice together.

Also, Black and Orange.
However, for both Orange needs to be the highlight color - too much orange is ugly.
