Orange on blue
An intense Icelandic Poppy, 'Champagne Bubbles Orange' perhaps enhanced by the Forget-Me-Nots, 'Blue Indigo'.
Seen in the formal beds at the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, where the spring planting of orange flowers with touches of their complementary blue is inspired by Chevreul’s colour theory, in particular his law of simultaneous contrast - that two juxtaposed hues will be perceived as the most different possible when the brain adds to a perceived hue a little of the complementary of the juxtaposed hue.
