English term or phrase: colored my feelings

I'm a little confused, as, although "color/colour one's feelings" is usually negative, meaning that it makes someone have a negative opinion of something or someone, I'm not sure it's the case here.

Find the full sentence below:

"Not surprisingly, this unexpected success, plus a New York Art Directors Club medal for a newspaper-size drawing of a frog for a separate Journal ad designed by Leon, *colored my feelings* about this new, unsolicited caprice of my talents."

cambiaron mi perspectiva

Explanation:
No es de soirprender que este inesperado éxito, más una medalla del Art Directors Club de Nueva York por un dibujo de grandes dimensiones de una rana para un aviso publicitario de una revista diseñado por León, cambiaron mi perspectiva con respecto a este nuevo e imprevisto capricho de mis talentos.

O "... me llevaron a ver de una manera distinta este nuevo e imprevisto capricho de mis talentos."

infundieron en mi(s) sentimiento(s)

Explanation:
un nuevo punto de vista sobre...

... aportaron un cariz nuevo a mi manera de sentir...

Me gusta también la opción de Toni, de "matizaron mi sentir"...

Y como decía Machado... "entre el vivir y el soñar hay una tercera cosa..., adivínala"... (cito de memoria, así que no me citen... ;-)

Saludos cordiales.

N.B.: Aquí "color" no tiene el sentido de distorsión de la definición 3 del Oxford, sino la 2...

2.2 with object (of an emotion) imbue (a person's voice) with a particular tone.
‘surprise colored her voice’

3 with object
Influence, especially in a negative way; distort.

‘the experiences had colored her whole existence’
More example sentencesSynonyms
influence, affect, slant, taint, pervert, warp, twist, skew, distort, bias, prejudice, poison

Véase la definición de "infundir" o "imbuir"...

"infundieron" un estado de ánimo, una ilusión, una tristeza... la idea de 2.2. "imbue"... "imbuir".

En este mundo traicionero, nada es verdad ni es mentira, todo es según del color del cristal con que se mira... como dijo Campoamor...
