I have a bright, mod style orange mini skirt I bought years ago. I wear it sometimes. I wear it with black stockings and black top (halter, 3/4 sleeves or spaghetti tanktop) for that impact. White, peach, or pale orange can be worn with it as well.
I don't know about bright tangerine, but I wear the orange skirt I had with a brown tank top. it looked really cute but my skirts more of a burnt orange so I'm not sure if it works with tangerine

those are all great ideas also, thanks! I don't have a very good sense of what matches, so I'm glad I asked for advice. I was thinking lime green, but I didn't want to look like a tropical citrus drink.
Darn it, Lyris! You beat me to my helpful addition to this thread!
So, second best suggestion I can offer: Blue denim. Blue denim, all shades, looks good with any colour. Always. Particularly pale denim if you wear it with bright colours.
I don't wear orange myself, but if it's like a bright tangerine it's hard to think what might look good with it besides white or sunshine-yellow. Maybe pay attention and see what other people wear with orange, that might help. Just make sure you never wear it with purple :-P . Orange and purple always look completely awful together.
More awesome than a manatee!

White does look good with orange. Some types of blue or green can look good too, not the overly bright varieties but darker, subtler shades of blue or green. You get the orange with dark color effect without looking like the orange and black Halloween combo. Surprisingly, some types of red can look good with orange too.

I was at the Express sale today and bought a tangerine-orange colored terry cloth skirt. That might sound odd, I like to wear bright and unusual colors. I know I can always wear it to the beach with a swimsuit, but it's also nice enough to wear out in the springtime. Now I'm just wondering what color would match with it, since I've never owned anything so orange before. I was thinking something more neutral to tone it down...
