In a way, it could have been any colour in the world. But because it had to mean something, because chance wouldn't have been enough to depend on in such a crucial move, chance wouldn't have been important enough –

Because Mayu had grown up in a world without any colours at all.

And that was why it was the answer…and it was sad.
