Because we usually think of the color blue as being associated with sadness, I thought this painting was particularly interesting. The girl looks sad, but the dominant color scheme of the image is shades of red. There is a little bit of blue, but it's mostly used as shadow, and doesn't really pop when compared to the bright red of the girl's hair, under her eyes, and lips. I don't think it'd be easy to mistake the sadness in this painting as another emotion, despite the color scheme being so bright and in-your-face.
