The question

Is it permissible for a woman to wear a loose, flowing garment that covers the entire face, in a specific color like green, and are there any forbidden colors for her, or a specific color mandated for her attire? Is it permissible for her, at a mixed-gender wedding, to wear certain colors like dark red or gray, or to combine two light colors? Are certain colors forbidden for her if she does not cover her face?

The answer

There is no specific color required for women's clothing, nor is it required for the colors of the clothing pieces to be uniform. However, it is stipulated that the clothing should not be arousing or a cause of temptation. The consideration lies in whether the colors are provocative or eye-catching, because one of the conditions of is that it should not be an adornment in itself. This condition applies equally to those who cover their faces and those who uncover them.
