This work is an unusual burghundy color, with a clear division between foreground, midground, and background enunciated by differences in color and by vertical and horizontal lines respectively. The work principally makes use of three shades - white for the foreground, burghundy for the midground, and a matching light red for the background - with some other colors for highlights and, of course, black to represent the figure doing the cultivation. The color of this work is what most plays into the meaning it tries to convey.
