In the painting "Saint George Slaying the Dragon" by Carlo Crivelli, the castle in the background is monochromatic, painted in different values of browns. Saint George and his horse have accents of warm colors, reds and yellows, that cause them to stand out. The intense reds and blues of the saddle and armor are striking. The white horse has a lot of variation of value which give texture and depth. The rich colors compliment each other and work together to give the intense feeling evident in the subject of the painting.
