The colors of the figure's face are made up of warm colors of red, yellow, green while the rest of the body is made up of primary colors of yellow, blue, red together with foam green sea, white and pink. However, the colors are mixed with each other to create depth. To illustrate this, a viewer would focus on the figure's right leg due to the bright yellow and then on the soft green sea foam, which makes the yellow closer to the viewer, while the green sea foam is in the back, creating depth. Additionally, simplified shapes like the red triangle in the bottom right also help separate the yellow and green of the sea foam, which reinforces the fact that they divide to show depth.
