In Manet's "Masked Ball at the Opera," the colors and composition suggest a sense of over-the-top excitement, reflecting the lively atmosphere of a masked ball. In contrast, Gauguin's "Breton Girls Dancing, Pont-Aven" evokes a feeling of happy peacefulness through softer colors and a more serene portrayal of the dancers. Therefore, the appropriate response would be: over-the-top excitement versus happy peacefulness.
