They (blue and orange) are complementary colours. I'm
not really sure if that means they're "opposite" or
not. The primary colours are red, blue and yellow.
The complementary colour of each is made up of a
combination of the two that are left - so the
complementary colour of red is green (blue + yellow);
the complementary colour of blue is orange (red +
yellow); and the complementary colour of yellow is
purple (red + blue). Then you can change them by
greying them down; or adding white - you would have to
add a corresponding amount of grey (black) or white to
the complementary colours as well. Rust is (more or
less) a combination of red and orange (red + yellow),
so the complementary colour to that would be a
combination of green (blue + yellow) and blue - in
other words, aqua. And so on. Add a little grey or
white to tone them down, and you've got the colours of
DJRD. Something like that.
