I don't see how it could. With brighter colors, probably what would happen is that the eye would go first to the bright colors, then to the figure to rest their eyes. Then back to the bright colors. We can't help but look at them first.
I really like Lewis's suggestion - tone on tone. You could even do gold leaf for the numerals (but that's really expensive.)
