I agree with Eric's comment about keeping a single colour out.

I have roughly 1000 lbs of Lego in the basement room and have the following
rough rules that I follow.

1)  I keep my basic bricks (in basic colours RYBW) in large tubs so I can
    easily bring them out when necessary.

2)  I keep other bricks sorted by colour whenever possible... especially
    bricks and plates.

3)  I keep a fair sized pile of assorted stuff around so I don't have to
    keep raiding sorted boxes.

4)  I keep whatever colour I'm working on out in a separate room (currently tan)

5)  And of course keep the really large Lego bricks in a separate pile :-)
