Yep. Colors from opposite sides of a color wheel just look good together.
In recent years there may have been an upswing of blue/orange but that would be the fault of orange. It was a popular color for corporations to use in the early 00's. Companies such as Ananova, Home Depot and even Burger King swapped it's template.

Green looks ugly with purple, nice with yellow.
Color theory FAILS.

^^^ Goku is seriously the epitome of this thread in one character
For films it goes even further to the point where it's become very trendy to color grade in overwhelming blue/orange tones. Transformers really goes over the top with it, but a lot of action films do it. Honestly, though, it's hard to blame them because skin tones are close to orange so they really can only use blue if they are going the complementary color route.

Going with basic Color Theory I wonder if Red and Green could become some new sensation but those are Christmas colors.
Complementary colors are colors that are directly across from eachother on the color wheel. So Red and Green would be complementary (as would be Blue and Orange).

Ever notice that in the supermarket they match the meats (beef) with a green frilly border? Hmmm.mac said:Yep. Colors from opposite sides of a color wheel just look good together.

So basically gaffers have discovered that most graphic design can be reduced to complimentary colors. Amazing. My favorite part about all this is when completely horrible examples with the smallest shred of the other color is used. You really don't need to try that hard.
Example:
The obvious to you guys now would be the Orange Text and the blue text, but you should also notice the purple tank on the yellow background. Hell, if you look close, you can probably see a red/green combo (bottom right).
Let's review complimentary colors:
1. Red/Green (you might see this quite a bit this month)
2. Blue/Orange
3. Yellow/Purple
You might note that each combo includes one primary color on the left, and the mix of the other two primary colors on the right. Color theory fucking rules!
But seriously. Just because you see a little blue and a little orange in basically everything doesn't mean this is something you can unsee, it means you CAN see. Congrats.

Yellow/Violet needs to be rocked more. I've always liked the color yellow when its not used as some pussified passive color.

It's simply contrast. I guess all you people are too young, and have only read modern computer-graphics coloured comics or something.
Has no-one ever wondered why superhero costumes were coloured the way they were? It was for contrast.
Blue-red
Blue-yellow
Green-purple (Hulk, green goblin, kang, Lizard)
I'm more surprised that anyone is even surprised at contrasting colours. What are covers supposed to do to stand out? Blue text, with a blue character on a blue background?
