Well there is a rare condition where the eye can't see colour. I remember a dude talking about having it on Jeopardy. He didn't really go into it, but he did mention that he waited until he black and white TV broke until he got a coloured one. He had his friends help with what he wore on the show since he couldn't tell himself.

I imagine it would work similarly in those soulmate AU's. Also you can think of it through the ways they worked around black and white television. There were specialists who colour coded the backdrops and outfits so they wouldn't blend into each other. Once colour became more common they had to work it colour on the big screen while still maintaining visibility for people at home who mostly didn't have access to coloured TV. This ended up with gaudy outfits with bright bold colours.
I assume there would be a system where they would sell sets of 'matching' outfits given most people can't see colour. People could decide on if they liked them judging them on the different tones. Designers would have special assistants who could see colour to determine what looks nice or not. (but then again taste is subjective)
Traffic lights generally have the same top=go, middle light=warning, and bottom light=stop. Though given most of the world can't see colour there would be symbols associated with the different signs.

Most of the time the soulmates want to meet naturally, so they characters they write about don't use sites or searches like that? I think I've seen it be reference before, but nothing came out of it.
