ohhh the led thing is fascinating. anyway i wonder how fucked up his relationship is with the color purple. i feel like he tries to avoid it specifically, like maybe he adjusts his headband to where the purple on it is barely visible on his end when he looks in the mirror. he tries not to look at purple flowers. he tries not to but it's still there.
its always going to be there, a reminder of who he's going to end up like. like a distant bell tolling at first after the mafia arcs over, and now that he's fully going off the deep end, he might just ignore it
(something something when you look at him from the back the purple is the most prevalent thing there. there's lots of color symbolism you can do with spoke.)
sorry this is very nonsensical you're free to ignore it
omg i love this idea ive thought about it a lot !! in my head it wouldnt be like an active thing he thinks about but a subconscious aversion to the colour because he Does link it with ash totally but also theres a layer of guilt with it too. i also think that he just tries to replace it, especially since his themes are heavy with red because of roses and such so its possible hes just all too blinded by that aspect of guilt to even gauge his feelings towards purple !
