red: freshness of a summer evening; yellow: optimism,
sunset and happiness; blue: endless space, and that the
sky is the limit.

Segev thinks that a painting’s task is to please and to
cheer the spectator; therefore, the “celebration of colors”
should leave the observer with a sense of heartiness and
harmonious happiness.
