Book Thief – Symbolism

Colour
“First the colours
Then the humans
That’s usually how I see things
Or at least, how I try”

I predict that the colour in the quote is going to be black, because the quote is spoken by death, and black is most commonly referred to as death. Death is also referenced and this also backs this up. I also think that red will also be used because red is asosiated with violence and crime, which is often referred to death.
