Definitely!! I think 311 especially lends itself to the idea...it had already been established in the Eyeconics presentation that orange was the new blue and then we see it in 311. That same idea comes across in the new lights over Brian's bed..blue to orange.
And orange and blue are complementary colors, which adds another layer to that particular choice. I know I'm getting rambly, but when I teach kids about complementary colors, we talk about red and green being holiday colors and our school's colors are purple and gold (yellow), so we use that example. I've never been able to think of a well-known example for blue and orange...maybe I should use Queer as Folk! ;-)
