This is obviously should go for another ticket.

The best example of two color scheme is Karasa Jaga, it has green for grow and
increase while red for shrink and decrease. I have no objection in term of
visual part as the two colors are easy recognizable and commonly accepted. But
blue and violet? They are too forced.

While the pairing idea came from export
(https://github.com/elementary/icons/blob/master/actions/24/document-export.svg)
and import
(https://github.com/elementary/icons/blob/master/actions/24/document-import.svg)
from upstream, but now I feel this turns to be a bad choice.

We can make use of https://elementary.io/brand for color choice. Really helpful
(Thanks Heiko who pointed out the link)

But the real question is, what is your suggestion? Single blue or single
orange?
I can say that orange are more ubiquitous in LibreOffice elementary theme than
blue, but I have no strong feeling that orange has such strong bond with
elementary as a whole. They even change their navigation arrow from black to
green
