Blue and orange are compliments of each other, how can they clash?
Because the blue and the orange he chose (those specific tones) arent equally placed on the color wheel. (ie, the orange is very vivid, while the blue is very muted).

While the primaries colors are somewhat complimentary, the tones he chose were too far apart in contrast for my taste.

I'd change the nav on the left to allow a mouseover of the entire table row, not just the text itself...other than that, me likey.

edit: I like the blue and orange...keep it!
