A pickup guru once told me the words of your opener don't really matter. He put it elegantly: The words are like a carrier signal for the rest of the communication. The listener pays more attention - forms more opinions - based on your look, your tonality, your body language.
I stumbled across a prank / comedy video that unintentionally demonstrates this. The comedian gets craigslist people to come over to his house, and then alternates between normal English and gibberish.
Anybody that is concerned about the words of their opener should watch and observe how the listeners hang in there, despite the nonsense. It's like their brains just discard the nonsense and stick with the rest of the communication.
So, as an opener, try telling someone they might need to move because the color orange lands on that spot. Then once you have their attention, proceed with normal conversation. See if you can get anyone to actually badger you about the original statement. My bet is it will be forgotten. People's brains - especially female brains - discard that which they can't resolve. Women rarely get hung up on specific words. They discard words that don't fit with their larger impression of you.
