Ofelia's death scene was truly impactful and resonated with me. The scene utilized contrasting lighting and colors to show the stark difference between her death in reality and rebirth into the fantasy world.

When Ofelia is slowly dying in Mercedes' arms, the lighting is very low and dark, which may signify the darkness that Vidal has caused in her life. Bright light slowly sweeps into the frame, which then transitions to the illuminated throne room of her true father. This may signify a new beginning in the fantasy life that she has always dreamed about.

In the real world, the main color that washes over the frame is a dark blue. The dark blue soon fades into a bright orange when the scene shifts to the throne room. Blue and orange are actually complementary colors, which means that they are opposites on the color wheel. The use of these colors properly communicates how different these two worlds are and how Ofelia feels about them. Blue has a sad connotation, while oranges and yellows are perceived as happy.

Overall, Del Toro's usage of contrasting lighting and color heighten the stakes and meaning of this transition between Ofelia's death and new life. This juxtaposition allows the audience to clearly understand the horrors and misery that she is leaving behind in reality and the new fantastical beginning that she has been working hard to obtain throughout the film.
