when to use certain colors

[Eagle 1]

The color that I have a hard time using is orange . I had a guy tell me once it was to early for orange so I figured he was matching the natural process on the nearby rip-rap .Orange/black in muddy , Orange / chartreuse in stained . These both are a ways down on my list . How about you ?

There are people here who have way more experience than I do. I may try to set up a poll of some sort to simplify this very complicated discussion. If we could get a list of conditions, color combinations, geographical locations, etc. then perhaps we could develop a somewhat sophisticated poll to see if there is any consensus. Perhaps a thread where people list as many factors as they can think of could be a basis for building the poll?
