When I have two cards left and one of them allows me to change color, I don't choose the color of the other card I have.

Not so much a strategy but a rules upgrade:
Too many games of UNO end in very predictable and unspectacular fashion because one player is clearly ahead but their neighboring players don't have any cards to throw down.
Allowing every player to attack any other player not only mitigates this issue but also makes the game much more dynamic.
Playing a +2? Simply point at the player you want to draw two cards. With a +4 you could even let the attacker split the attack and say "you take 2 and you take 2"
This'll make games significantly longer, though. I prefer to just end the round and start a new one
To each their own. I'd much rather play a longer but more exciting game. "At least it's over quickly" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for a game...
Always change the color with a number to find out what card the other player has
In two player games keep a reverse-skip-card chain ready for the end game
Keeping those cards is risky though because they’re high point value. So if the opponent does go out they score a lot.
We don’t do point values at my house tho
