  • There used to be an ending for the game where you would find all the colored cards so that Toby could make a rainbow. The astute observer might have already realized that Toby's realities are incredibly polarized; with the only two colors he uses being red (or pink, like his hair), and blue like his eyes. Of course that'd be the answer for a good ending.
    • And on top of that, the game is called 'White Sky'. However bland of a color it might be, white is a culmination of all the colors, and clearly holds importance to Toby as he looks at everything from the radio tower - stating that the view from there is beautiful, even if it's a little empty...
  • The portrait with Toby and his mother. He states that he was disappointed with the fact that they had no colored ink for it, but that other than that, it was a great day. When you're getting chased by Toby, you can choose to look at the portrait only to find it was ruined with splatters of red blood all over his mom's face, and he asks you what's so great about dumb picture..."Or, well, it used to be dumb, but I fixed it." He did. Red is a color, what was lacking in the original picture - and it goes well with Toby's obsession with only choosing one or two colors at a time, so red makes sense.

  • Toby's mom mentions getting contacts for him, leading us to think that maybe he's not an outsider because he was born in color; but rather because he chooses to be. Everyone else has dyed their hair/wears contacts if they don't have the looks (a reasonable amount of people), right? But his mom later states that he was born that way. This presents a much worse scenario; where selective breeding has led to everyone having more or less the same hair and eyes, and Toby has what is basically a genetic mutation in their world, maybe due to his mom, maybe due to his dad.
  • Toby's dad is never mentioned - and unless this world has unconventional reproduction, I think we could hazard a guess what happened to him. Toby's mom is clearly unhappy and having to pretend she's not; who's to say that one day she didn't marry a very strange man, who later got taken away?
  • Lenna and the other rabbits during the mad red world are mirrors into Toby's broken subconscious and fears, as well as what he would later become after he tried to be "normal". They even say the same things Toby wants to do himself; "Stay forever". At the time, he 'fears' them. He later becomes just like them.
