1. Monochromatic
A monochromatic image is composed of one hue with any number of its corresponding tints and shades. In this example, purple/violet is the one hue being used throughout the image. However, to completely identify this image as monochromatic, it also contains different tints and shades of the purple hue. The horizon/sky in the photo has a purple tint, whereas the ground is a darker shade, with the silhouette of the camel and man being the absolute darkest shade of purple that exists in the painting.

2. Warm/Cold Contrast
Warm-cool color contrast in interesting because cool contrast depends upon the context of the surrounding colors. So in this example, I personally perceived the yellow background to be the cool color, as it was the brightest portion of the image and the aqua/purple/black colors to be that warm colors, probably because of the presence of the black. Ultimately through this warm-cool color contrast, the subject of the image is easily detected.

3. Cultural Meaning of a Color
In South American culture, green represents death, especially that of the green dense jungles; whereas in Western culture, and countries such as the United States and Ireland, green represents good luck and is a religious color. The dramatic difference between these two meanings in regards to the same color are on opposite sides of the spectrum, which is interesting. However, that further explains the differences in culture across the globe.
