I haven't noticed that about Marie, but I have noticed that Walt dresses in earth tones, bland colors and such. The one -- and only exception--was the day Walt was released from the hospital he grew a goatee and was sporting a pink sweater. Remember that? Pink is the color of love or passion. But get this, it wasn't directed towards Skyler, in my opinion, but Jesse. There's a strange jealousy beneath the surface that Walt harbors for Jesse. Not in a gay or homosexual kind of way, but more like ownership; entitlement. Hence, Jesse always reciprocating by calling him Mr. White. Names and titles are funny things. They draw lines and define relationships, help us maintain boundaries.

I don't think Hank is interested in karmic justice. That's not what really drives him. Hank thrives off being right and public adulation. He likes to enlist others in his quest to battle the forces of evil. No matter how far off base he seems, there's always another party complicit somehow. The one and only exception would be the time he killed Tuco by himself, but he stumbled across that.
