But........ Orange is a lovely colour to work on and not at all tiring to the eyes. It and red are commonly used as the pricking colour in Spain, which is where I first tried it, and I brought orange film back to the UK. Everyone of my students who has tried it prefers it to blue or even the traditional brown card colour.
White/cream/ecru shows much better against it than against pale blue, as do many colours. Not orange of course! It is now available in the UK from one of the general suppliers. Look at the Lace Guild Facebook page to see Mary making ((and finishing) the super quick scarf, the pattern for which was in her goody bag at convention this year. She has orange film over yellow card with lavender blue wool.
