[Image] COSTUME (DISTINCTIVE) [Days of Heaven] Most characters wear black and/or dark colored clothing throughout the film (even the extras), although common sense dictates that farm workers in the hot sun would wear light colors to reflect the sun/heat. This may signify that black as a clothing color was a stylistic decision on Malick's part. The exception to the predominant use of black clothes is Bill's light-colored duster coat, Abby's wedding dress, and a few white or light-colored outfits she wears during her time as the Farmer's wife.

Holly has a white lace tablecloth or shawl draped over her head as she leaves the rich man's house, recalling her voice over near the beginning of the film, when she says Kit dreamed of her coming towards him dressed in white.
