I think this Mourning Dove looks beautiful sitting there in that little tree. The brown leaves add to the picture, I think. :) The colors can be described as "analogous". 'Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.'
