This image is from Faith Ringold's collection of paintings telling the story of when all the people of the world were one color, and how the angel of color went about making them all this color or that color, but that it was too dull and eventually made all different colors of people. This painting is when the angel of color paints everyone gray. Her skin is meant to fade into the background, emphasizing the dullness of uniform skin tones, while her face and dress vibrate with color--showing what her skin or the people of the world could look like, were they to differ.
