I rarely buy a kit (only one or two ) and make it a habit not to stick to one design line cause I like to play with color. I especially like brights with a gray, navy, dark green, black or white--those to me are my neutrals. I do sometimes have to push myself to throw in oranges, pinks, reds because those just don't seem to be my "go-to" colors. One rule I follow from Jinny Beyers is to make sure to have some "dark-darks" to make the mediums and the lights actually get to play too.
