Hi Tunde, I do like the color choices, however, it will all be about how they are implemented in determining if they are too overpowering or not. Also, they are all at the same chroma value so some people that are color blind (maybe not with these particular values but if they were green or blue) may not easily see the difference in color which would be a problem if you were using one to highlight an element. I would consider maybe making a lighter or darker version of some. I love this video about making color schemes too: http://methodandcraft.com/videos/creating-harmonious-color-schemes Hope that helps a bit!

nice colours - but it depends on how you use them! There are different ways of using same colour. It might be that 5% of the design is orange only and the rest is mostly in blues/white, or in equal amount or 60%, 10%, 10%,10%,10%! Experiment!
