The following is the book cover as it currently stands:

So I have no color coordination skills, so I'm looking for suggestions
for colors.
The colors that I chose -- purple and blue -- are based on the
following that I found on a web site:
Basic Vietnamese Color Meanings
* Red – happiness, love, luck, celebration
* Yellow – wealth, prosperity, royalty, happiness, change
* Green – jealousy, lust
* Blue – calmness, hope, growth
* Purple – nostalgia, sadness, fragility, tenderness
* White – purity, death, the end
* Black – evil
The red rectangle with the yellow star is the Vietnamese flag.
The picture is a port in the Mekong Delta near Saigon.
I might have used red and yellow for the entire cover, rather than
purple and blue, but those are the colors that I used on my China
book.
Suggestions for improving the cover text, including the entire book
title and subtitle, are also welcome.
For comparison purposes, here are the covers of my Iran and China books:
