I would use both orange and purple! You could strip piece chinese coins or cut 3" by 6" retangles and lay them out brick style to finish at 2 1/2" x 5 1/2". Two rows laid out the long way would equal your 5" needed.
I think this is a very good suggestion. Otherwise, I'd use only the orange. To me the purple provides too much contrast.
