    J.D Salinger uses color within the book Catcher in the Rye to help him establish and bring out themes appropriately. Color is a good symbolic element in books because characters often go through many physical and emotional changes that color helps represent.

This means, instead of interacting with dead objects like the museum displays that were “so nice and peaceful,” he is able to relate to other people of his age (Salinger 264).
