The title of the piece directly above is "Grevy Zibra". Andy Warhol uses a warm color scheme and incorporates the complement of orange (blue) for the background. With the line strokes, the white not perfectly colored in, and the bright colors the viewer feels energized, like they're in the middle of craziness. This feeling works for the piece, instead of against it. 

 The name of this piece is "Flowers (Red)".  Warhol uses black and white in the background which allows the red in the foreground to really pop and grab the viewers' attention. He does not use a set color scheme.

The style is very simple, which follows the idea of less is more.
