I would choose whatever colors were appropriate to my subject. Because I'm a realistic painter. If I'm painting a lime, it's going to be green. What actual greens I use will depend on the overall context of the painting.
There are 22 colors in my palette for a reason---because those are the colors I use all the time.

It would depend on what you are painting. If you paint abstract then your colors might be bright and colorful, if you paint realistically then you would pick colors that match the real object. I usually use darker colors, just because I don't like bright colors( I think only a couple artist can make bright, vivid colors look appeasing and good looking)

Depends on what I'm painting.
Example:
As i like painting elements, I'd opt for red, yellow and black for fire, whereas I'd choose blue and white for water, a lighter shade of blue and mostly white for Ice, and for lightning i'd use either blue, yellow or purple with a combination of black and white. also love paintings of nature, but this is a lot different altogether. if this gives you any idea.
It might have been a better question to ask what anyone particularly likes to paint. eg. people, landscapes, animals, nature, elements, fantasy. etc.

Er.. wouldn't a subject be a priority? Based on the subject I would pick colors seldom the other way around.
