it really depends on what kinda setting you want overall, but I personally like:
- Sea Lanterns
- Spruce Logs
- Oak/Spruce Planks
- Stone Brick
Depending on the location of the build to be honest. What might look good in the middle of a desert might not necessarily look good on top of a snowy mountain or in a jungle
I suggest going to creative. and just test out what looks good together. Try the different wood variants with the different clay colors. But i do have a few tips i use a lot.
When you go with a dark primary material.. use lighter versions to accent. I tend to favor darkoak when i use wood, so i would use acacia or birch to accent it. Or if you go with a material like netherbrick, quartz and goldblocks go good with that as well.

What style are you going for? for strong medieval fortresses, I feel like stone, stone bricks, and cobble are best. A bit of spruce throws in some dark yet saturated color, which contrasts nicely with the bland, light colored stone and cobble. Another tip i have is to mix smooth stone and cobble randomly for flat areas and use stone bricks and stone slabs for supports/pillars. Afterward having spruce pillars topped with stone brick stairs on the side of the wall every two blocks can add detail. Lastly, I GREATLY encourage you to start small, and expand later. It will make tweaks much easier later on, and having a huge empty space in your base isn't pleasant.
Oh and another thing, I think that some people do overboard with detail. In regalia I feel like all the different block types make the whole thing hard to look at. Don't worry if you have areas that are simply empty walls, its better in my opinion the have empty walls then not even being able to look at your awesome looking towers.

Experiment with colors and also think about what you can afford. Also if you have a theme in mind, think about what blocks fit with it.
I find that generally when patterning something out of multiple block types, it's best to either stick with similar colors of blocks, or pattern a more neutral color with a more vibrant one. By neutral color, I mean greys and whites and maybe light browns, so that would be your stones and quartz and maybe wood. Putting colors like blues and reds together generally doesn't look too good for example, so there's nothing wrong with using something simple like stone or logs; they work well with more blocks than something colorful like netherrack or prismarine do.
Also, even simple, normally dull looking blocks can look very good if you use stuff like stairs and slabs and fences/walls to make good designs.
