There's something so perverse about how Jayce is paraded around in white and red and gold when his House colors are clearly shades of blues and browns.
Especially because the more he is used and controlled by the council as a whole, the more he is plastered about as some figurehead or poster boy of Piltover's progresses, the more he is draped in the gilding of false colors.
We actually never get to see him wearing his own House colors past his flashback with the mage, in which the majority of his little outfit is made up of the more humble color scheme.
The only thing he actually still owns in his house colors is the blanket he gives to Viktor, which can be seen in his childhood room and is made of the same material his mother wore during the blizzard for warmth.
Edit to add:
I'm adding this to the original post so y'all don't assume I just didn't analyze the literal BEST Jayce outfit in the whole series.
It's a mourning shroud.
While the highlights may have some blue to them (blue highlighting is very common in animation to keep things from looking dull or muddy) the midtone on his shirt is actually in the yellow field.
Also, no. The Talis House symbol is not red. It's brown and gold (sometimes with white).
Any red relating to the Talis symbol is BECAUSE of the color corruption of Jayce, not in spite of it.
The outfit still has meaning, but as I said in the post, he NEVER goes back to his family colors after being paraded around in the red, gold, and white.
This outfit is black, red, and silver. His armor is black and gold with an off white coat (to show that he's still doing this in a way for Piltover as well, probably.)
It's and end and new beginning. It's a rebirth.
Not a return.
ohoho? Intersection of hyperfixations? Don’t mind if I do
Jayce, heir to a struggling noble family, travels to a remote village to find out why the tribute hasn’t arrived. He’s sure the villagers’ stories about a monster are just lies to trick him. Viktor, a former witcher now living as a cripple, doesn't want to be involved but warns him of the real danger. Unfortunately, Jayce is certain he knows better.
So, who’s the hero refusing the Call? (Viktor. It's Viktor, spoiler)
Vi, Jayce’s bodyguard and friend. My friend asked me not to hurt her in this AU but it's important for the plot T_T (I bet Arcane's writer might have said the same thing)

oh fuck life is worth living isnt it. shit
sometimes I’ll be complaining about something bc that’s my right as a chronically ill person, and my parents will chime in with a “you’re in your twenties, you’re too young to be complaining that your back/hips/knees/etc hurt(s)” and I’m like, Yeah??? No shit??? You were AT the doctor’s appointments with me, did you forget the chronic part of CHRONIC PAIN????
for you and your warped reflection
Actually no, how dare Arcane force Vi to be the survivor
She’s been the protector all her life, the one her siblings looked up to, the one Vander looked to in order to keep the kids safe. Then she loses everyone in a single moment, spending the next almost decade ruminating in that guilt. Then she gets Powder back, until she realizes Powder doesn’t exist anymore. She gets Caitlyn, but loses her too.
She seemingly gets part of her family back with Jinx and Warwick/Vander and Isha, only to lose them all too.
And she was supposed to protect them. I can’t see her viewing herself as anything but a failure after having lived with that pressure and guilt for so long.
I see your “He asked for no pickles” ship dynamic and I raise you “Oh they gave you pickles? I’ll take them”
