Gold would probably be a popular choice, too. After all, the streets of heaven are pure gold (Revelations 21:21) and the crowns of heaven are made of gold. Just a digression though that the genuineness of our faith is more precious to God than gold that perishes (1 Peter 1:7).
Some may say it's red, scarlet or crimson for the Blood of Christ which has wrought so great a Salvation thread for all mankind, And, God and all of heaven would celebrate each and every precious souls that could be redeemed by the Blood of Christ. Besides blue and purple, red was also one of the colour of cloths used for moving the holy things of the Tabernacle (Numbers 4).
Perhaps its white and blue as seen on the flag of Israel, the apple of God's eye. As sourced from http://www.biblebasics.co.uk/colours/col5.htm, "Blue is also associated with the commandments of God, the importance of remembering them and also the heavenly calling of those who had been chosen by God to be His people (Numbers 15:38-40).
The ark of the covenant in the Tabernacle was covered with blue cloth representing its close association with the Word of God (Numbers 4:5-7; 11-13).
The robe of the High Priest was also blue, again symbolising the close association with God and His Word (Exodus 28:31-33)."
My guess is that God's favourite colour is light or white. White in appearance, but a spectrum of 7 colours upon revelation. In describing the Glory of the New Jerusalem, the apostle John tells us: " But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved[l] shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Revelation 21:22-24 (NKJV)"
For your further reflection as sourced from http://www.biblebasics.co.uk/colours/col2.htm,
"White is the colour that is comprised of all the colours of the spectrum. Refraction of white light produces the rainbow colours which consist of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo (purple), violet. Other colours consist of the infrared and Ultraviolet spectrum Infrared and Ultraviolet represent that which is unseen.
The rainbow represents the promises of God and was a sign of the covenant that God would never again flood the earth with water: "I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth... .. the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh." Gen 9:13,15
The rainbow signifies the glory, majesty and honour of the Lord Jesus Christ "One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald." (Rev 4:2-3) "
