    AOTC: Blue
    ROTS: Orange
    ANH: Yellow
    ESB: White
    ROTJ: Green

    unsure about TFA and TLJ

    Interesting question! I think mine ended up being pretty similar:

    TPM: Green
    AOTC: Blue
    ROTS: Red
    ANH: Yellow
    ESB: Gray
    ROTJ: Brown

    I think I chose green for TPM because it's a youthful, vibrant, possibly over-exuberant kind of movie that seems to evoke the kind of Spring-time energy that you might associate with green. For ROTS I went with red because of all the lava, naturally, but also the wild, out-of-control, explosive quality to Anakin's story as he self-destructs over the course of the movie. Interesting that we both chose blue for AOTC. I briefly considered orange or something because the color palette does shift toward that in the later parts of the movie. But for whatever reason blue seemed more fitting. Perhaps because it's a melancholic color and Anakin and Padme's romance always has a melancholy note to it. Yellow makes sense for ANH. Yellow is associated with transitions and of course ANH is the transition from the PT to the OT, from the dark times to the new hope. Then ESB is a pretty color-less movie. Hoth, the interiors of the various imperial ships, the interior of the millenium falcon. Even Dagobah feels pretty muted in color. For ROTJ I guess I just chose brown because there's a lot of that color throughout, with Jabba and his minions, and the Rancor, and the forests of Endor too.

    Good Question. Hmm...
    TPM: Yellow- Tatooine and Naboo Starfighters
    AOTC: Blue- Kamino, Obi-Wan and Anakin's blue lightsaber
    ROTS: Red and Orange- Red lightsabers, orange and red Mustafar lava, rise of the Sith
    ANH: White- Pure, clean slate, Luke's farm clothes, R2D2's importance
    ESB: Black- Vader, Space chase
    ROTJ: Green- Luke's lightsaber, Endor

    TPM: Green (Qui-Gon's calmness)
    AOTC: Orange (Anakin's slow descent into darkness)
    ROTS: Red (the explosive and bloody battles and attacks)
    ANH: Yellow (Tatooine, as well as Luke's personality being similar to his father's (yellow being similar to Orange)
    ESB: Blue (a hint of what's to come, Luke staying with the light, in contrast to his father)
    ROTJ: White (light triumphing over darkness)
    TFA: Gray (Kylo Ren's pull to the light while in darkness, as well as the cold and calculating First Order)
    Rogue One: Brown (many of the locations have brown in them)
    TLJ: Black (seemingly hopeless, as Kylo Ren descends further into darkness)

    I: Green - a (relatively) calm period of life, Qui-Gon's saber, the open hills of Naboo
    II: Blue - Padme's apartment and dress, Anakin's saber, isolation and emotional coldness
    III: Red - Palpatine's saber, the fires of Mustafar, Tatooine dusk
    IV: Brown - Obi-Wan's cloak, sandcrawler, Luke's speeder
    V: White - Hoth, stormtroopers, Cloud City interior
    VI: Black - Luke's outfit, Vader, night and death on Dagobah and Endor

    Haven't really thought about the new films on this level.

    Interesting topic.

    I guess I gravitate to the colors of the DVD versions, the designs of which really stuck with me:

    TPM: Yellow
    AOTC: Orange
    ROTS: Red
    ANH: Pink
    ESB: Blue
    ROTJ: Green

    For the ST I'm not sure what does it, but here they are:

    TFA: Brown
    TLJ: White

    Very interesting to see the similarities and differences. This is something I think about a lot.

    ANH- Yellow.
    Probably because of the Star Wars logo at the beginning and on all the merchandise at the time, all the sand, Luke's pants.

    ESB- Blue or Red.
    Blue because of deep space, which is a big part of this movie: Vader's searching, the crew of the Falcon's flight from the Empire. Also the interior setting of the Cloud City shaft with shaft during Luke & Vader's duel. Boba Fett's suit.
    Red because of Vader's lightsaber which looms like a menace throughout.
    Also, blue or red mostly just to stay with the primary theme, because...

    RotJ- Green.
    Luke's lightsaber, Endor/the trees, Yoda, life renewing after the cold white, empire.

    Phantom Menace- Red
    Darth Maul, the Sith lightsaber, Padme's dresses, the SW logo.

    AotC- Brown or Blue or Green.
    Brown because of much of the Naboo architecture, the Tusken Raiders, Tatooine, Geonosis.
    Blue for the interiors of Kamino, Anakin & Obi-Wan's lightsabers. Coruscant at night.
    Green for the grasslands of Naboo, the wisdom and folly of Yoda, and his duel with Dooku.

    RotS- Orange.
    Fiery Mustafar, Anakin's eyes.

    Just off top of my head as immediate impressions:
    The Phantom Menace: Green (Naboo, grass battle, Qui-Gon)
    Attack of the Clones: bright neon colors of orange (the chase through Coruscant)
    Revenge of the Sith: Red/Orange (Mustafar)
    A New Hope: Tan (sands of Tatooine, tunics of Obi-Wan and Luke)
    Empire Strikes Back: White (Hoth), Orange (Cloud City)
    Return of the Jedi: Green (forest of Endor, Luke's lightsaber, Yoda and the swamp)
    The Force Awakens: Red (C3PO's arm, Ren's lightsaber, the lighting in Han's final scene)
    The Last Jedi: Green and grayish blue (the Island), Red (the throne room, Crait, marketing)

    A New Hope: Yellow (the sands of Tatooine)
    The Empire Strikes Back: White (the ice desert of Hoth and the clouds above Bespin)
    Return of the Jedi: Green (the forest moon of Endor)

    The Phantom Menace: Yellow (the sands of Tatooine, the gold lacings in Padme's palace)
    Attack of the Clones: White (the clone factory on Kamino)
    Revenge of the Sith: Red (the lava of Mustafar)

    Solo makes me think of purple. The rest don't have really color schemes that I've noticed.

    The Phantom Menace - Green
    Attack of the Clones - Blue
    Revenge of the Sith - Orange

    A New Hope - Gray
    The Empire Strikes Back - White
    Return of the Jedi - Black

    The Force Awakens - Tan
    The Last Jedi - Red

    Rogue One - Gray (very much in line with ANH, which is narratively fitting)
    Solo - Brown

    The prequels being the most colorful, with the colors growing more and more intense with each film until the ending of RotS when color is all but snuffed out. The originals seeming lack of color reinforces a lot of what the Empire is and what has happened to the galaxy in the dark times that have transpired. The two spinoffs seem to almost play on variations of the OT color scheme, which is fitting, and the ST is a bit difficult to place how it works in an overall structure (and likely will remain as so until next December when Episode IX releases).

    Interesting question, I thought it was a bit ridiculous to be honest but I closed my eyes and went with my first thoughts lol.
    Phantom Menace - White. For purity maybe, new beginnings, fresh, clean slate
    Attack of the Clones - Yellow. Not sure...sun on Naboo, the speeder Anakin steals?
    Revenge of the Sith - Orange. Lava? Lights over Coruscant
    A New Hope - Blue. The lightsabre. The bright blue sunny sky on Tatooine
    Empire Strikes Back - Black. The dominance of Vader
    Return of the Jedi - Green. Endor. The lightsabre...
    The Force Awakens - Red. Kylo Ren
    The Last Jedi...brown, for crap. I kid, I KID. Probably Red again, Kylo Ren, the throne room battle.
    Rogue One. White...and I am not sure why.
    Solo. Yellow...again not sure why.

    What a weird but wonderful question the OP poses... And indeed I do, sorta, at least for the OT:
    ANH - red (like the glow in Vader's mask's eyes)
    ESB - blue (like Hoth's sky)
    RotJ - green (like Luke's lightsaber)

    For the PT and the Anthologies I think more of combinations than of individual colors:
    TPM - scarlet red and greyish blue
    AotC - undersaturated orange, light grey and navy blue
    RotS - a gradient from pink salmon, via bright red, imperial red, crimson red, carmine red, to black

    Rogue One - red and light grey
    Solo - various shades of brown and grey, contrasted with cyan and yellowish white
