An interview with Yahoo News suggests that the blue highlights are related to some new gadget of Widow's that fires electric blasts. From the article:
Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow suit got the most dramatic alteration. “I went electric,” said Johansson, who reprises the role of Black Widow (her fourth time as the Russian heroine) in reference to the Tron-esque new suit (courtesy of Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark) that allows her to fire electrical blasts of energy at the bad guys.
And from the interview itself:
Johansson: I had a crazy...like electrical...blast sort of thing...ish. I went electric, I guess.
Design & Trend got some on-set spoilers, which also suggested an electrical theme:
JoBlo has let loose another leak on a Marvel film, this time spilling details on Black Widow's costume for "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
According to the report, the character will feature a "TRON-style" look that will feature electricity flowing through it, which will manifest as electroshock "widow sting" superpowers.
