It's interesting because her second memoir of grief,
Blue Nights, about the death of her daughter, did a similar play on color, but did not spell out her daughter's name. It just said "No." Having said that, it could still have been 100% intentional given the subject.
I have been doing a listen of this as I have read the physical copy many times. I am still just as floored by it on a re-read as I was the first time.
