She is wearing a pink coat and bright red boots, which contrast strikingly with the monochrome landscape around her. The girl, radiant with vibrancy, forms a colourful contrast to the black and white world of the tulip field.

Miraculously, the tulips around the girl seem to regain their red colour as the paint hits the umbrella and spreads through the field. The girl's path through the field, which was initially shrouded in grey tones, is now marked by bright red tulips coming back to life. The red flowers form a vivid contrast to the rest of the black and white landscape.
