I think it’s funny when people explain it using examples where the author legitimately did have well-documented cultural associations with certain colors. It’d be like in 100 years someone saying “Batman’s suit is dark because he’s supposed to be mysterious and operates in the shadow” and another person responding, “have you ever thought that maybe he just had a dark suit????”

He was the dark knight because his suit was fucking dark! very-intelligent

Or also, if the author didn't want to draw attention to the curtains, they wouldn't have mentioned them!
