Michelangelo differentiates the architectural order by coloring it gray to emphasize it as a distinctive decorative element against the white background of the flat walls. The typical columns used by Michelangelo (double columns) have been called "imprisoned columns" and are often described by critics as an expression of his homosexual feelings in relation to Christian morality, symbolizing Michelangelo's repressed spirit.
