Two colors that relate to Jessie Bollier are gray and yellow. Gray represents the fact that all the characters in the novel are neither completely good or bad, and that they all have different characteristics about them that adhere to both. Jessie can be considered the epitome of the mix between black(bad) and white(good) because he constantly stuggles throughout the novel to follow through with his morals, but he knows that it isn't entirely possible if he wants to survive and not fall victim to the situation. Gray also represents Jessie's middle groundedness because he doesn't want to treat the slaves harshly, but at the same time he wants to remain on the safe side with the rough crew in order to be protected and safe, so Jessie is generally not biased or sided when it comes to taking stances in certain situations.
The color yellow also relates to Jessie because he is trying to find a guiding light that will help him to discover himself, so in my opinion the color yellow repsents a savior and a bright entity that shines through even during the darkest of times. Also, yellow is the color of the sun and the sun never fails to rise every morning and is a meaningful example of consistency, as well as a symbol loyalty and continuety.
