Just one???

Indigo Luster is a beautiful blue and can have a great metallic luster.

The old Millenium Moss has a fantastic sparkle, unobtanium too.

Oops...you said only one, didn't you???

My favorite color combo is still ruby and extra light yellow.

My favorite boro color is clear. Mainly because the pieces I make are 90-95% clear. I'm also really fascinated with using clear as lenses and magnifiers. A close second is Elvis. I used to use a lot of the Amber Purples, but it seemed like every piece I made used it. I'm trying to break out of that mold now. I'm out of it (and Double Amber Purple, Triple Passion, Purple Luster, etc.), and I'm not going to order any more right now. I'm trying to focus on other colors for now just to make me work outside my comfort zone.

My current favorite combinations are Butterscotch/Millennium Moss, Elvis/silver fuming, Black/White.

I like Momka's exotic citrus (grapefruit) - so many different shades and there's just something about it.....I have drifted over to a lot of her colors and find I like them more and more.

My favorite color is clear also... It's glass after all. Isn't that the point? If you're not exploiting the various aspects of transparent glass it's probably a LOT easier to work with polymer clay.

As for actual colors I'd probably say that so far that NS DAP is my fave after an entire week working boro

Well, I'm a rookie with boro and every color I use there is something I love about it. But I'd have to go with Momka's Silver Beach, it's like DAP but for me so much easier to strike. and I have to add Precision crystal bliss, coat any color with this and it becomes a sparklie color mmmm, actually all the Precision colors rock!

That's way to hard to pick just one.
Hum..I like anything with metallics, lusters, or shifty effects.
Ok, I can narrow down to a group I guess and say anything GA Amazon.
Don't hold me to it..there are to many new boro colors that are so much fun I might change my mind.
