Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“We stripped a lot of the color out of this film and out of the Marvel Universe. And it is all a choice that is a set up leading to that exact moment. When he returns to the uniform, he returns to his principals. The stealth outfit, the design of SHIELD headquarters The Triskelion - the grey and beige and sort of neutral colors that exist throughout the movie, the cold blues - are all there to serve in contrast and to represent the institutional nature of the organization and of the world that Cap is living in. And when he makes this choice to don his uniform, it’s the one real piece of color in the movie.”
