Building on my last post I now have a boader theory what the colours in Happy of the End stand for.

Yellow are needs.

While it appears mostly in connection with Chihiro's need for human connection

It also appears with food

And Haoren

Blue is outsiderness and isolation

It mostly appears as the world Haoren grew up in

But is also the colour of Chihiro's highschool experience

And because of that green is the colour of closeness and society

And then there is red and its connection to sexual exploitation

Lastly there are blue and pink as character colour for Haoren and Chihiro based on the episode numbers

So we are hoping for green but colourless is fine

The colours were working together illustrating the story.

I was a bit surprised about the yellow light in the scene with Maya because I hadnt thought of desperate need to survive in connection with Chihiro. It showed how he had moved from seeing himself dying with Haoren to needing to live with him.

As can also be seen in the picture he took which is a lot more yellow than the scene we saw them in.

Haoren had become connected to the green of togetherness to Chihiro.

While Haoren was still drowning in the blue that he is so deeply connected to.

And so he sends Chihiro of into the green for a better life

Which is of course not as green as it could be and very blue tinged because Chihiro wants and needs Haoren

And when Haoren is finally able to walk into the green and realise that they need each other.

We get to see them as each others green
