One thing I noticed about games is how the main characters always wear certain colors that express their personality. I know there's a meaning behind every color (though I'm not 100% sure what all of them are) and here's some theories I have about the outfits the characters in Rule of Rose wear (and other game characters who wear these colors).
Jennifer: Jennifer wears kind of a dark green. Dark Green seems to mean a lot of things. For instance a lot of characters who've worn dark green have had some kind of secret or past that they were not aware of or couldn't remember. It's also a color worn by teenage girls who are reaching adult hood. Here's some other characters who wear dark green.
Alyssa from Clock Tower 3 (green school uniform): Alyssa has a dark secret family past that she discovers along with her powers her mother tried to keep hidden from her. She is also reaching her 15th birthday (and in Japan 15 or 16 is considered the age when you become an adult).
Yoko from Resident Evil Outbreak (green shirt): Yoko suffers from memory lost. Plus although she is 20, she still dresses like a young college student and gives players the impression that she's younger then she really is.
Heather from Silent Hill 3 (green skirt): Heather has to go through memories and nightmare worlds of her past life. Also Heather is 17 and acts very mature like an adult.
Rebecca from Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 (green under shirt): Though Rebecca doesn't wear "dark green", I guess it's because she doesn't have a dark past. However Rebecca is 18, graduated college early, and is a member of a Special Force Team.
Wendy: Wendy wears kind of a white and pale blue. White seems to be the color of innocense, and pale blue seems to be the color of someone who's kind and loving. Wendy wasn't "truely" any of these things, but gave off the impression that she was. Here are other characters who've worn white or pale blue.
Rebecca from RE1 and RE0 (white vest): Rebecca's outfit is mostly white which shows of she's a metic, but also shows that she's the youngest member of the STARS team and the most innocent.
Sherry from RE2 (white school uniform): Sherry is a young innocent girl and prehaps the youngest character in the series. Plus the fact she wears a school uniform shows that she's a young character. She also wears blue, but it's darek blue. Which could prehaps show her shy personality and sadness.
Cindy from Resident Evil Outbreak (blue and white shirt): Cindy wears a mix of white and light blue. She is the second youngest character being 24, but is also very girly and innocent. She's also a bit niave. She's also the nicest person who'll put others before her and try to heal their wounds.
Heather from Silent Hill 3 (white jacket): Heather isn't exactly your typical "innocent" young teenager, but she's the youngest protoganist in the Silent Hill series. And in away she's just a lonely young girl who acts tough to hide her feelings.
On another note young Jennifer wears a white dress. It show her younger side.
Diana: Not only does Diana wear a dark red dress (or is it brown? I can't tell), but her long hair is also red. Red is often associated with power and sex. Diana is a very powerful member of the Artisocrats being second highest ranked. Jennifer seems very frightful of her. Diana also has somewhat of a sex appeal (lifting her skirt above the knee, sucking blood off Meg's finger, rubbing Jen's head like a dog, etc). On another note Diana wears a green tie, which as we discussed is a sign of a teenage girl reaching maturity as Diana tries to become an adult. Here's some other characters who wear red.
Claire from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil (red biker outfit and leather shirt): Code Veronica: Claire wears two different reds in the games. In RE2she wears kind of a hot pink which I guess she's her toughness as a biker but that she's also sexy in a tomboyish way. In Code Veronica she wears a brighter red which could mean that she's gotten stronger and more powerful as a fighter after the events in RE2.
Ada from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 (red dress): Ada is a very strong and powerful character and is very sexy and seductive. She also seems to wear dark red which shows her mysteriousness
Alyssa from Resident Evil Outbreak (red business suit): Alyssa is your typical sexy badass reporter who for some unkown reason is good with a gun. She's also very mean to others and probably the most aggresive character.
Maria from Silent Hill 2 (red shirt): Maria is very sexual (she was a stripper after all). She also wears dark red like Ada which could symbolize her mysterious past.
Eleanor: Eleanor wears kind of a dark yellow. I haven't seen much yellow but from what I have the characters who wear them are loners and seem rather cold hearted. They also aren't very talkative. Here's 2 characters I know who wear yellow (and are both men).
David from Resident Evil Outbreak (yellow jumpsuit): David could be Eleanor's father. They're both dark haired and wear yellow. They're very anti-social, rarely talk, and seem to hate everyone. They don't care much for others and prefer to be on their own.
Steve from Resident Evil Code Veronica (yellow shirt): Well Steve isn't exactly none-talkative (more like talks too much). However at first Steve does come across as a loner until he desides to team up with Claire.
As for the other characters I can't really tell. Meg wears green like Jennifer, but is not a teenager nore seems to be intrested in becoming an adult. She does wear a tan vest. She also wears glasses which is an obvious sign that she's smart.
As for Amanda I'm not sure what her colors mean. They appear to be pale pink. Maybe it means misery or unhappiness? I'm sure it means something.
Anyways feel free to discuss this.
Edit: I just realised how Diana has a green tie and Meg has a red tie. Plus Diana wears red while Meg wears green. Green and Red colors seem to get along with each other. So maybe the colors symbolize their relationship?
Jennifer: Jennifer wears kind of a dark green. Dark Green seems to mean a lot of things. For instance a lot of characters who've worn dark green have had some kind of secret or past that they were not aware of or couldn't remember.
