I chose this stormy-grayish for one of the two colors because it is a very strong and steely color. It represents the strong will of the old man when he is following the fish and killing it because the fish is so much bigger than he is and he have gone so many days with only little sips of water and raw fish, yet he still persisted. It also represents the old man physically, gray is a color you can relate to old people, so it represents the old man's age.
The black color represents the endurance of the old man as he struggles with the marlin and the destruction of his trophy by the sharks. The bright burst in the middle represents how he seizes triumph and renewed life from this "defeat" and how the boy will make use of his teachings even after he has died, extending his life after his death.
