I love Deli's analysis.

few words about the artwork
Have you all noticed how on the back of the album, the city landscape turns purple? Her name is also written with the same colour on the front cover so I think the conclusion is that at the end of the battle ayu finally 'reached an agreement' with her self. Party Queen letters are written with yellow and the "13 album" stamp is like a mix between Ayumi & the party queen (a bit more yellow signifying ayu's bad habbits, traumas, disappointments, sacrifices, lush life etc. & less purple - ayu knows that she must find a balance in everything).

Symbolism of colours.
Purple became the color of kings, nobles, priests and magistrates all around the Mediterranean in Ancient times. Also, Purple and violet also played an important part in the religious paintings of the Renaissance. Angels and the Virgin Mary were often portrayed wearing purple or violet robes.

Yellow is commonly associated with gold, wealth, and pleasure, but also with envy, jealousy and betrayal.

The use of colours are realy interesting but still, it may not be true what I'm implying.
