מועדף / עדיף / מעדיף / אהוב / חביב
The literal translation is מועדף but sometimes it sounds "artificial" and I wouldn't use it in any of the questions you stated.
For the first I'd say:
מה הצבע האהוב עליך
And for the second:
מהו סוג המוזיקה שאתה מעדיף
Or:
מהו סוג המוזיקה החביב עליך
For the first I'd say:
מה הצבע האהוב עליך
And for the second:
מהו סוג המוזיקה שאתה מעדיף
Or:
מהו סוג המוזיקה החביב עליך
