Fish colors looks better in blue. Black if you want darker colors.
 
Although I have seen a planted tank with a blue background and was backlit with an orange bulb from the bottom which bled through the blue so it looked like a sunrise. That was pretty awesome.

That is not how it is done. The blue and orange mix will give a green color.
The sunrise and twilights type background are normally done with translucent stickers for the background and different coloured bulbs are flashed to a white board/ styrofoam at the back thus reflecting the color to the glass as if it is mixed in a more natural way.

All my tanks are black backs. I rock fake plants and nothing makes the bright plastic green pop like black substrate and a black background.
