Various shades of pink are used in the movie, to indicate Diane's various 'personas'. Top left: Betty, wearing a dark pinkish sweater, represents Diane's 'aspiring actress' persona. Top right: The sign for the Pink's eatery that the prostitute, hit man, and pimp are shown exiting, indicates the presence of Diane's call-girl persona. Above left: The waitress in Winkie's, who is wearing a very light pink shirt, represents Diane's 'ordinary-job-persona', or perhaps we could call it her 'call-girl-on-the-mend' persona. (Recall that we said earlier that Diane had worked at Winkie's at some point.) Above right: Lorraine, with pink paint stains on her dress, represents Diane's 'revenge-persona' - that part of Diane that wanted to get revenge on Adam. As stated earlier in the analysis, the dead and decomposing body that Betty and Rita, and later the cowboy, see has hair that matches Lorraine's hair instead of Betty's or Diane's. However, Rita is extremely horrified upon seeing the body, because, as Diane's subconscious, she senses that the body in some way represents the death of Diane herself.
Above left: All three women in the first group auditioning for The Sylvia North Story , are each wearing at least one article of pink clothing.
Above right: The second person to audition, the Camilla Rhodes 'double', is wearing pink clothing and has blond hair. Taken together with the women at left and with the pink symbolism as described earlier above, this represents Diane's dream-wish that she was effectively the only one auditioning for the role. However, as discussed earlier in the analysis, the fact that the blond woman is named Camilla Rhodes is the indication that the real Camilla did go on to audition for, and get, the role, after she escaped from the hit man whom Diane hired.
