I read about this somewhere and I cannot stop seeing blue and orange on cover arts for games/movies! I went to GameStop one day and looked at the Xbox games and it's EVERYWHERE.

Posting a few.

Most of those depict the sky, which would look like that near sunset.

:dwi:

Blue and Orange are also complementary colors, making them a catchy pairing to the eyes.

Right. As the article said, most of it is about contrasting human skin with the background.

Walk down a produce aisle and you'll see red and green together, purple and yellow together, so on and so on. Contrast makes things pretty. Pretty things are things we're more likely to buy.

Of course, they don't sell Cheez-Its or donuts in the produce aisle, so I don't know if you've ever seen one.

I kind of think Cheese Nips are superior as long as they're not stale.

However, White Cheddar Cheez-Its are in a league of their own.

Cheez-Its inferior to Cheese Nips?

People say Jimmy Buffett is country music when his genre is really "lazy music"
