Seeing as Bioshock's setting is underwater a lot of the game's colours are blues and aqua hues. Darker blues like navy run heavily throughout the game however seeing as this is merely a background colour, other colours stand out quite evidently against these backgrounds. The enemies known as "big daddies" aren't overly saturated in their colour palette so ultimately they shouldn't stand out to strongly against the blue backgrounds as threats. However the lights and face mask on the "big daddy's" body suit help to solve this issue because they are such bright and saturated colours that compliment the blues well, our eyes are immediately drawn towards them. As well as enemies, environmental assests of interest or objectives are often made to stand out so you can clearly see where it is that you need to get to. This circus themed vending machine in the image below is a brilliant demonstration of highly saturated colours standing out against the more broken hues of the background. Your eyes are immediately drawn towards the reds and blues of the clown's face.
