He applied thin washes of intense colour, a palette of mostly cool, dull hues into the painting with blues and grays, but also includes splashes of warm colors noticed in the sky and the red-orange sun. Monet was highly acknowledged for his awareness of color harmony and his ability to enforce viewers’ attention, reflecting his unique and constantly transforming personal vision.
