Dictator Jimmy: The color correlates with the energy output of the suit. As you know, visible light is organized into a spectrum, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Red has the longest wavelengths and lowest frequency (and thus the lowest energy), whereas violet has the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency (and thus highest energy).
Aurora's suit was an unfinished prototype, so I had only refined the suit's functions enough to get a mid-range energy output, with a frequency of 590 THz. My suit is more refined, achieving a higher energy output (visible in the spectrum at 650 THz). Ideally, I would like to create a suit that reaches 750 THz, the highest in the visible spectrum - in other words, violet. However, the infrastructure is highly complex, and I have not been able to make it operable without harming the wearer.
The color of the fabric is merely aesthetic.
