Just her favorite color. Have you noticed how bad things happen when there is lots of green? The first scene that comes to mind is the opening scene to the episode Half Measures where they show Wendy's day, and there is green light around as she is smoking her blue sky meth.
When you see characters in colors like beige and white they're usually pretty innocent; e.g., Walt early on. When Marie isn't in purple it usually signifies something major happening. Like the yellow she is wearing when Hank reads the book on the toilet; yellow is kind of an opposite color to purple (yellow is red+green, purple is blue+red), and Marie's life is about to be turned upside down now that Hank has found out Walt is Heisenberg from that book he read on the toilet. There's an entire interesting theory on colors in Breaking Bad, but I'd wait until you finish the series so you don't read too many spoilers.
Breaking Bad is just so full of things like that which make it very worth watching again for all the cool things you miss the first time through. Gilligan's creativity is just mind-blowing.
