The colour pink is associated with health and happiness:
From Farlex
in the pink
Healthy; in good condition.
and Farlex also has
tickled pink
Very pleased with someone or something.
So perhaps
Sridhar is tickled pink; he sees no reason not to enjoy this moment, regardless of the situation he is in.

Melancholy is dark blue, the opposite temperament is Sanguine: yellow
EDIT: Even though Jens described sanguine as "yellow", the dictionary definition below says it is "blood-red" (see comments for further context).

Not everyone views the color, blue, in the same way. So, to have the blues, may have more than one (inherent) meaning.
As well, perhaps, even, some persons "love" being down, the underdog, etc. To have the blues, but in a good way.
