According to the color circle, since orange is comprised of the two base colors red and yellow, the last base color, blue, is the complementary color.

The other pairs are yellow and purple, and green and red.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi Nira,


Orange is a "strong" colour that needs special care in matching it to other colours.  Usually it goes well with colours of the same "family": yellow, beige, several shades of green (e.g: khaki green), several shades of light brown.
Best regards

Hi,
Blue + orange is too "noisy" for me...  it's a sort of a shout: "Here I am, watch me"....  too extrovert as per my taste....  a small piece of blue on a big orange background could be nice.... (and vice versa). 
Best regards,

Hi Oron,

I guess it's all a matter of taste and it depends on what  is the purpose of these 2 colors combination. Sky + Sun, which is blue and orange is a great match. But I won't paint my room wall with this combination.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

If you look around Yedda you'll see lots of orange and blue combinations - seems to work very well - particularly if there is white in the mix too.

 Also - maybe silver ?
