The color in both of these is similar in that the main character in the scene is wearing a brighter piece of clothing and all the other characters are dressed in bland, neutral colors so they aren't distracting. There is some brightness in the first image coming in from outside, while the second scene is rather dark and dingy. The light in the first image causes part of the frame to appear saturated, but in both shots the main characters are clearly in focus.
There is a considerable amount of shadow in each shot to reflect that both of the scenes take place in seedy locations. The lighting symbolically reflects the presence (or in this case, lack) of good in both scenes. The mood is fairly light in the first shot because of the light coming in through the window but it is much more serious in the second due to the shadows and dim light.
