The ground takes up approximately 95% of the canvas. Its brown colour serves as both a contrast to the white pebbles and as a surreal foundation on which all of the other elements of the painting rest. Brown itself is made when almost all of the colours in a palette are mixed. The composition is therefore a murky, hodgepodge of elements blended together just as the proposed themes of the painting are molded together. .
Miro's use of colour differs from Dali's blending and prevalent three-dimensionality. The Potato was painted using the strong primary colours of blue, red, and yellow although green and brown do show up in small areas. Miro's work conforms to the fantasy dimension of surrealism as it, at first glance, radiates a childlike aura as demonstrated by the simple, unblended primary colours. The bright colours and whimsical lines and shapes seem to come alive. Even simpler are the black and white paints used - they revert back to an infantile stage in the sense that babies begin seeing only black, white, [and red] in early development. The colour in Miro's work, unlike that of Accommodations of Desire, contributes to the two-dimensionality of the composition. The flattening of the plane conceals the true identity of the yellow square section to the right of the main figure. Dali's painting also has a small yellow and blue section, but it is quite clear that the area is a ribbon of sky above the horizon. This contrast emphasizes the abstraction Miro uses in The Potato; the yellow section can be a table, a desert valley or simply nothing. Nevertheless, it serves to control the picture plane by solidifying the composition. .
Dali's treatment of the material - in terms of brushstrokes, scale, and how the surface was worked - contributes to the dreamlike aura that Accommodations radiates. The addition of oil to the paint serves to replace a finished matte look with a finished glossy look.
