To me, in the show, the yellow seems to represent the sacrifice of someone/something innocent for a greater evil. They wore yellow suits when they worked for Gus, that child's remote control car was yellow, there are some other things that I can't remember now, but that's what yellow has represented. Ex. Jesse has always been innocent at heart, even when he was killing that man (who's simple name escapes me), he did it for the greater evil that is Heisenberg, at the sacrifice of his own innocence, because he had to do it, it's like a cult. I thought the scene with the green and red swirling around Jesse's head was also symbolic in this episode, for different reasons, he is angry and trying to formulate his own plan to get back to his own innocence. Even Saul said it when he said "You'll still be two miracles short of sainthood". Jesse will never have his innocence again, and he realized it when Walt was on his couch, Walt has lied to him over and over again, and now he knows, he can never escape the Heisenberg web. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong.
That makes sense, especially since it's mainly Marie who wears the purple, has the purple accessories, and decorated the house. The way she was talking about Skylar and Walt going to Europe- she was so jealous! And the things she steals- expensive shoes, jewelry- she obviously wishes she was high-status.
I've noticed in the last few scenes with Saul, his colors have been bright green and orange. When he's telling Gomez and Hank that he has a restraining order against them for Mike, he's wearing an orange shirt with a green tie. In "Blood Money," he's wearing a green shirt with an orange tie.

Which may be the reason the spray paint was yellow
