What is the dominant color? Are there contrasting foils? Is there color symbolism?

Ghost World (2001)

The use of color in this shot is symbolic. The scene is set in Seymour's kitchen. Seymour's apartment, like Seymour himself, is very drab. Both the set and Seymour are dressed in browns.

Enid, on the other hand, is dressed in bright blue. She is not only a contrasting foil for Seymour and the shot, but she will metaphorically add some "color" to his life.
