In this image, the Gestalt principle of continuity through color is successfully represented. Once you see the image of the cat in the background and the vivid blues and purples on its tongue, that contrast with its white fur, your eyes are immediately pointed downwards following the direction of the tongue to the snow-cone. The colors in the tongue, blue and purple, are mirrored onto the snow-cone, presenting the viewer with continuity between the two objects in the picture. The continuity works so well that it isn't until looking at the picture further do you wonder why a cat is licking a snow-cone in the first place. The Gestalt principle of continuity had allowed color to link the opposed images together in a fun way.
