- Color the firefighter helmet in a bright tone such as red or yellow to draw focus to the child firefighter.
- Try gray or silver on the garage door, then use a different shade for the brick walls so the background does not blend together.
- Use light blue in the windows for a soft contrast against the warmer building colors.
