 Peter Greenaway uses specific colors to represent each set of the  film. The exterior of La Hollandaise is predominantly blue. The  kitchen is mostly green. The seating area of the restaurant is red  and the restrooms are stark white. Georginas dress colors and the  sashes that Albert and his associates wear change colors to match  this scheme as they move from room to room. Another thing that  changes is the color of Georginas cigarettes.
