These are two stills from the same animated show. These two stills have very different properties in terms of color. For hue, each image has a very different structure. The first image contains a similar hue throughout. Most of the first image utilizes warm colors with the orange, green, and white in it. There is one set of cool color but not much. The second image relies on contrast of colors in it. The background of the still is entirely made up of cool colors, while the character in the foreground is entirely composed of warm colors. This allows the character in the second still to pop out from the background much more effectively than the character in the first still. The brightness of both stills are also very similar. The colors are fairly bright, with the characters being brighter than their background. The colors from both are fairly saturated. The characters have more saturation than their backgrounds. In the first image the grass is a soft green, while the character is not very saturated at all. In the second the background is medium in terms of its saturation, with the character in front having higher saturation in his colors.

The lighting from each image is very similar. The only place with shadows in the first image is the background. There are no shadows at all on the character. This means that the source of light for this image is most likely directly over the characters head, and it contributes to the fact that he is very evenly lit. The second character shares the same lighting as the first. His lighting is very even with no shadows coming across his features. The symbolism of both images in a direct contrast. The first image has the character happy and smug. The second image has the character very angry at something. This is mostly shown through their facial expressions and how their body is positioned. The first character has a very relaxed pose about him while the second character has both his fists raised in a righteous anger. The mood for both images is shown by the colors of the characters. You can tell the mood of the first character because of his even coloring and facial expressions. The second character has an entirely red face in contrasts to the rest of his body. This shows the extreme state of his mood.
