What the model said

Blue — specifically a deep, slightly green-leaning blue like teal or cerulean. It's the most commonly named favorite color across cultures, it's the color of both sky and sea, and it stays readable and calm in almost any context.

That said, "best" depends on the job: red for urgency, green for "all tests passing," and amber-on-black if you're configuring a terminal.
