Fantasia treats color as music: hues change with orchestral timbre, and sequences are scored with chromatic motion. Deep ultramarines and violets contrast with golds and crimson to create visual movements that mirror the orchestra.
It's a test case for chromatic storytelling in animation—color is protagonist, not ornament.
