We decided to go with a motif of black/grey/white (present) and blue/green/black (past) to signify a difference and contrast between the two time frames and show that there is a complete change in their relationship, not only as people but as a 'unit', so to speak.
The very simple monotone colours of the present outfits show the mourning nature of their emotional state, showing they are still wrapped up in this relationship and can't seem to escape, but perhaps Ava sees it more 'black and white' because Nile's 'grey' vision shows he is still yearning for the relationship to continue.
The motif of blue is to symbolise the relationship as pure, as the definition of blue in a conceptual sense is 'Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquillity, loyalty and openness. The presence of this colour may symbolise a spiritual guide and optimism of the future and clarity of mind.' This shows that in that time they were optimistic and seeing their future together as bright and infinite.
However blue does lead itself into forshadowing of the relationship as it can also mean, 'An expressing a desire to get away or the colour blue may also be a metaphor for "being blue" and feeling sad.' Thus, showing that their relationship was finite and not enternal as they hoped beforehand.
The decision to have two 'past' outfits was to show the long jeverdy of their relationship and that it lasted for some time before falling apart. Also the first outfit is all blue, showing the connotations of blue, but then the second outfit starts to show the cracks in the relationship with the 'grey' areas of the outfits showing the 'grey' areas of their relationship.
