The renegade/paragon colours are correct

Renegade has Shepard living whilst destroying the geth and EDI.

Paragon has Shepard dying but saving the geth allies and EDI.

The TIM and Anderson vision. Well Anderson didn't know that destroying the reapers would wipe out the geth alilies. TIM he wanted to used the reapers to ensure human dominance and for renegade reasons

However for Shepard case he would be controlling the reapers for paragon reasons (in contrast to TIM controlling the reapers for renegade reason) and with the information given by the starchild knowing that geth will be wiped out if destroy is chosen, shepard would be destroying the reapers for renegade reasons (whilst Anderson was destroying it for paragon reasons)

It's a twist reversal but it still makes sense from a paragon/renegade standpoint

Nevertheless the ending still sucks though as explained in my earlier post
