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.
