Arbitrary colors allow for relationships between objects that don't or did not exist at the time of the painting. The arbitrary use of color allows artists to use the properties of color in special ways that nature does not provide at the time of the painting, such as already mentioned by others. This inventive alternative tells us more about the painter than a "normally" executed painting and was a large step for the advancement of painting from strictly representational to expressionistic.

arbitrary would be a way of expressing storic shades of dark colors never letting up no life at all is let in to the painting it stand defying life as ghastly as cold
or IT could mean take the tones from sunlit area have a hue of opposite side darkness as in shadows
or wrong colors in the wrong place to bring out something that couldn't have been done another way
