Ok, color theroy 101. Here's your pallete now:

             

You are basically using 2 hues - blue and orange.

So the your pallete consists of 3 colors, 1 yellow, 1 orange, and one blue.

The orange is of medium brightness, and high saturation
The yellow is of low saturation anf high brightness
Your blue is of medium brightness and high saturation.

The pallete is flat becaue the orange & blue are pretty equal in thier saturation and brightness. What happens if we do this:

             

I've reduced the brightness on the blue (anf the saturation decreased as well), and I've lightened the orange. Can you see how these two colors compliment each other better now?

The other color that might benefit from some tweaking is the background color. Its weak when compared to the orange, mainly because is so close in hue to it, and you are seeing it in realtion to the blue.

             

Its not perfect (I had to break from the web pallete to get the color interactions work in the final exampple here), but maybe you can see how you can fiddle with the colors a little bit.

I hope this helped.

James
