basically he's trying to say margot was very pale. If u imagine blonde hair, blue eyes and red lips- you think of them as normal primary colours right but if u say mix water with them- they loose the intensity of the colour, slightly fading. so not as bright as she ought to be
now the photograph - its old meaning again slowly losing colour overtime. she had been taken out of an album and dusted- pale and frail like an old photograph is but just to make her seem more humn-it is whitened
her voice- which she rarely used was light like a ghost- soft and unnoticed, coming whenever and leaving without anyone paying attention
It means that it has been constantly raining in Venus that she felt like she have turned like a feverish well.the rain had washed all her color.-it means that she had already seen the sun and felt it when she was in Ohio but now this rain had washed all her colors and now she stand like a old photograph if she speaks she is full of ghostly voice because she always thinks about the sun and does not speak much in this world.
