Jane, especially early on, wears only clothing that is grey or dark in nature, suggesting that she is emotionally and spiritually repressed. Her true colors are not showing in other words.
The red room, of course, is symbolic of much the same thing.....intense emotions that threaten to overwhelm.
Fire shows up as a transformative agent.
