Lavender is the color of the Captain's haori. In Japanese color culture, lavender/purple is associated with insight/wisdom, God/divine, mystery, celebration, and decadence. That last one is the most interesting to me because one definition of decadence (I thought it just meant "luxury") is:

moral or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury.

Excessive indulgence in the pleasure of... battle? Sounds like 11th Division to me. Yellow, on the other hand, signifies illness, cowardice, and deceit (again, according to Japanse color culture).

Also, purple as in, the flower, not the weed: as seen here.
