Promotional Art Assigned Colors
So, in Sing 2, we see each character illuminated in a certain color.  This means that the characters are assigned colors in terms of what they’ll be associated with!

However, when compared to the colors associated with the characters in the first movie (thanks Wiki), we see that some are actually the same.

 This means that the characters are assigned colors in terms of what they’ll be associated with! And since I am slightly obsessed with symbolism, I will be breaking down what each color means! Enjoy!

Can we talk about how well these fit? Like it’s amazing how well.
Buster is the troupe leader and his color symbolizes authority. But, it also symbolizes pervasiveness, like how Buster’s problems affect all areas of his life. 
Rosita’s shift from pink to light blue between movies is her ditching her more passive attitude that was in the first film. The blue does show how reliable she is in terms of within the troupe, she’s the one everyone depends on. 
Ash being red makes the most sense to me due not only to her rebellious nature but her drive and passion. And this is only shown more in Sing 2 by her making her own music career.
Johnny is very much the creative of his family, like the colour teal would suggest, and I’m sure that Marcus would describe his son as stand-offish. Johnny also appears to be pretty private and introverted so it does fit him well.
Meena’s colour palate shows off her roles in the two movies. In the first she was the calm to Buster’s impulsivity in the stage crew and in the second she was focused more on herself and her romantic storyline with Alfonso.
Mike’s just fits. He’s very much arrogant through-out the first movie but is also shown to be very passionate about singing and music.
Gunter is described as flashy by pretty much everything, including a shiny gold tracksuit. However, he is very confident in his abilities and is very much the optimistic one of the troupe.
Mrs. Crawly fits much better as magenta to be completely honest. She is the grandmother of the group and adores them all but can become more forceful and domineering as the stage crew in Sing 2 learned.
Nana Noodleman is a reflection of the theatre itself when it comes to her associated colours. At first she was almost mourning the past and the wonder that it once was, but by the second movie she was wearing green of prosperity for the troupe.
Clay Calloway’s associated colour being green did surprise me at first before I checked the meaning. Clay acts as a symbol of hope and prosperity for the troupe and he was shown to have become stagnant in his life.
