Dali doesn’t use any bold, standout colors like red. Dali stuck to very earthy and neutral tones, the only “pop” of color would be the orange pocket watch that was covered in ants. Like you stated, he used a lot of browns, and blues, along with green hues. I believe the sun was setting because when you directly look at the painting, the sun is shining toward the east, meaning the sun was on the left.
