Why I love it:  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Theory of Colour",  was a founding study of  colour ~ in particular the contrast between complementary or opposing hues.  Tangerine  and turquoise are a very summery example of this.  Being such a bold combination, though, ratio is crucial to avoid undesirable optical illusions, as learned from Johannes Itten ~ one of the first people to define and identify strategies for successful color combinations.
