If I may, I wanted to bring up a new topic about Love is Blue. The following is only speculation and not officially confirmed.

The Love is Blue set have four individual names: Prelude, Minuet, Toccata, and Nocturne. However, we do not know which names goes with which color, so what is your opinion on the individual names? My opinion would be:

Prelude: Gray "An Endless Life"

Preludes are typically introductory music. When Bayonetta first receives Love is Blue, she grabs the left hand gun first out of the entire set, and typically keeps this gun in front of her during battles/cutscenes, using this arm for her first punch attack, both ground and air. Originally played before church music, preludes match bright colors, namely gray/white.

Minuet: Green "A Jealous Lover"

The minuet as a dance frequently uses dance steps, matching with her left heel gun. In a battle against a Glamor, Bayonetta finishes it by summoning Madama Butterfly to stomp on it repeatedly with her left foot. The slow and dignified style of minuet also matches with the calm and peaceful color of green.

Toccata: Red "Eye of the Overseer"

Toccatas are played to indicate skill  with finger dexterity, and in cutscenes, Bayonetta has no problem using this gun against Rodin, or using it in conjunction with her other handgun against obstacles; both cases involve rapid firing tens or twenties of bullets in mere seconds. The fast-paced style of toccata matches with the passion and energy of red.

Nocturne: Black "The Darkest Night"

The easiest and most obvious choice, nocturnes are music inspired by the night. Bayonetta frequently uses her right heel gun, labeled "The Darkest Night" to attack or to counter against the Masked Lumen in cutscenes, a nod to light against dark. Fitting with the imagery of night, nocturnes are easily associated with black.
