Here is an equally vague response:  If you find the philosophy of garish

colors being used for moods an interesting subject, you should research

Vittorio Storarro's work.  (He was the cinematographer of Little Buddah in

addition to most Bertalucci films and films of Copolla.)  He has a theory

of colors which is, shall we say, well defined.  In addition to many many

interviews in publications like American Cinematographyer, you can see him

speak about his work in the EXCELLENT documentary VISIONS OF LIGHT.
