How would "In a Station of the Metro" change if the bough was bright and lively rather than wet and black?

Question

When something is wet, black, or has a dark demeanor to it, that usually paints a darker picture in the reader's mind. For example, if you were reading a book about a man walking through a dark alleyway at midnight, with only the ghostly moonbeams lighting his way, and the sound of the rain pattering on the ground all around him, that might paint a dark, nearly depressing mood. However, if the author writes about a little girl running barefoot in a pink sundress through a bright green meadow while the warm sun illuminates her blond hair, and butterflies flit about, that might paint a more cheerful, pleasant picture in the reader's mind. Does that make sense?
