Are there colors that are desirable, undesirable, or forbidden in Islam, based on the Prophet's prohibition of red clothing and the Companions' preference for yellow?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no specific color in Islamic law that is obligatory or forbidden to use. It is permissible for a Muslim to wear and use all colors, as long as it is not intended to imitate disbelievers or for fame. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Wear white clothes, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them."
