I know Meg's offical stance is that if a wax/sealent looks best on one color, then it looks best on every color... However, I find each wax/sealent has certain attributes and that these attributes may enhance the attributes of certain colors more then others, so here is my favorite wax-sealents to use on certain colors....
Black.... #26 or #16
Dark Blue.... #26
Blue... #21
Purple.... #26
Dark Red.... #26
Red... #21
Yellow.... #16
Dark Green.... #21
Green... #21
Burnt Orange... #26
Tan/Gold/Earthtones.... #21
Silver.... #21 or NXT
Dark Gray... #21 or #26
White... NXT
Also, on cars with metal flakes I have found that #21 or NXT tend to pop the flakes more then #16 or #26 so on heavily flaked finishes I tend to use one or the other, regardless of the color.
Here are some pictures of different color cars with my favorite combo's
