(Teal and) Orange - _TNY_0109

Teal and orange are complimentary colours - they are each others opposites and thus have the maximum contrast in between them. Since skin tones fit in the orange spectrum and blue skies are near the teal, the "teal and orange" look is very popular in film grading, in photos and also movie posters.

 

Here is nature's own version - the beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo)

 

The metallic orange one here is a female and the males instead rock the an equally metallic teal. From the same day at Åva-Stensjödal in the Tyresta National Park, here is a male showing his (just as pretty) colours: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53214780997/
