There are a lot of things going on in this painting. The pink hue in the baby's hat, along with the soft yellow on the chair are repeated in the skin with the exact same pigments so as to enhance her skin tones. Using pink and yellow together produces an interesting effect called "halation," which means they (the colors) make each other seem to glow.
Also, notice the "perfect triad" of color in the pink, yellow and blue of the hat. The blue is a warm, sweet kind of blue, just perfect for babies. And I love the way she is leaning in toward us, the viewer. Makes you wonder what she'd like to tell us!
