The paint serves to reduce the boys to almost animal like status, concerned with the basic fundamentals of life, killing, eating and shelter from wild beast and enemies. Ralph's desire for smoke is insubstantial and it represents something insubstantial too, the possibility of rescue and the return to a so-called civilised world.
