Right now, if you have more buy orders than sell orders of a good, the order balance is blue and the market price is orange. In the opposite case, the order balance is orange and the market price is blue.

Make these consistent. The game has no way to judge if a price being over or under price is good or bad, so I like that it's not the green/red which implies something about the situation. But assign one of these colors as "above market price" and the other as "below market price". Using these one way in one column and the the opposite way in a neighbouring columns is extremely confusing. It's not like these will ever be different from one another, since the market price is defined by your order balance. So giving them a color code would make it very easy to read, since it will teach the player when they look at their market screen that blue is under base price and orange is over base price (or vice versa).
