While Disgust in Inside Out was generally negatively nit picking fastidiously at Riley’s every move, in the end she did it to protect Riley and prevent her from going near anything that may be harmful to her.

Green is an emotionally positive color” (Scott-Kemmis, 2013). This colour is used in today’s society as a means of representing safeness and nature through certain symbols as it is a very positive colour.
