The color palette includes earthy tones with deep reds, rusty oranges, soft greens, and muted browns, complemented by the grays and whites of the birds. The birds are positioned near the center, with one facing left and the other facing right, both nestled against the green and rust-colored leaves forming a swirling background pattern.
