Ideally, one needs to use the 16 basic colors, but I don't stick to this.
Take a look at the favicon for my company http://www.simplygraphix.com

Not sure how you created the favicon.ico, I do it in PSP as a .gif and use
IrfanView to convert the file to .ico
(Search for IrfanView on Google)

Hope this helps
