Talk about orange. You shouldn’t put blue on orange or vice-versa because the wavelengths resolve at different points on the retina, making the colours look like they’re different distances away.

It’s even worse against a bright blue sky, so lucky you that we have just that kind of background here!

Blue-on-orange sign reads ‘Emergency Help Point’
