White stands for purity, grace, sincerity, and abundance. Purple implies royalty, wealth, pride, and dignity. Green means renewal, rebirth, prosperity, good luck, and health. Red signifies passion, deep love, romance, and respect.

Together, these colors weave a spectrum of emotions from sorrowful apology to passionate love.

Because redemption isn't rebirth. And when someone starts seeing through her carefully built life- walking away might not be something she can do anymore.
