Very boring and conservative I'm afraid 
. For every day Kal wears black tack, either black/white or blue numnah and black boots . . . rider (either Z or me) is generally in blue, grey or green (think earthy tones) jods with a dark-coloured top. His bandages don't match his rugs, however, but they do "go" . . . bandages are either navy blue or dark green and all stable rugs coordinate/are in a conservative colour like grey, green, navy with two exceptions (a travel rug - more about that later, and one bright red summer sheet but the navy bandages go with that).
For competing, same black tack . . . several travel rugs - one cerise summer sheet trimmed with grey that matches his grey travel boots and grey competition leadrope (yes, I'm sad) - one grey thermatex, one black thermatex (trimmed with grey) and one royal blue mesh cooler trimmed with grey. His dressage numnah is dark grey trimmed, but has a blue'ish tinge which goes nicely with Z's blue jacket (and hat) and his jumping numnah matches her jacket exACTly. Her cross country colours are navy blue, black and white. Boots (his and hers) are black.
My only concession to a bit of colour is with his summer/lightweight turnouts . . . until this spring they were all plain and boring and then I bought him a brown/blue spotty one, a magenta one (which he has yet to wear) and one in Burberry check (it's his Essex Boy gear).
Don't ask me about forks/buckets/skips, however . . . much of that is pink . . . which is as a result of buying him with my (then) 13-year-old daughter . . . sigh.
