The colors of this artwork look natural. There is very small evidence of intense color, such as the blue and green, but most of the painting is made out of neutralized colors.

The gold color stands for the sun os fire. The white color stands for purity. Red represents the energy life force. Blue represents all things such as eternity, truth, devotion, faith, purity, chastity, peace, spiritual and intellectual life. The color black stands for primordial darkness, transcended worlds, hate and ignorance, imminenence of the absolute, and the threshold of the experience.

My response to the color of the painting is cultural. Imediately after looking at these colors I was in awe. I had never seen anything like it before. Just by looking not only at the color, but the figures as well, their is a lot of cultural symbolism within the painting. I became very curious about this culture.
