Help needed with colour wheel transitioning!

Hi all! Please excuse the awful picture, but i've had blue hair for a long time and am wanting to get to a nice orangey peachy colour, because I have developed an allergy to ammonia based bleach, so can only use quite weak bleach and my hair is VERY damaged too, so I think perhaps orangey tones are easier to achieve from now on?

So what I want to ask is basically, what way should I go round the colour wheel? I fancy trying green, so therefore putting yellow on what I currently have, but how achievable will getting to orange be and how long should it take??

Actually I think it'd be easier to go the other way round the wheel - blue to purple to red/pink to red/orange to orange. Every yellow I've tried needs a pale base to make any difference so I'm not sure it'd show up on at least the darker blue bits of your hair. You could put a green right on top of that, but going green to orange doesn't sound like fun.

If your hair is fragile you need to leave even the lightest bleach alone and just do colours and fading technqiues, and give your heair lots of TLC. It's best to do it as slowly as possible,
