I do not know much about this topic, but there are some rahit namas which I think have already been mentioned in this topic.

I don't like the colour red, but that's just me?. I used tell my friend not to wear red just because I didn't like it lol. And the reply I got was Har ik rang rab da a. But I still didn't want to wear it. ?

This shabad comes to mind when somebody says lal.

Dhan Guru Arjun Dev Ji

but the positive red it stemming from the 'robe of honour' one receives through simran and bhagti ...remember when we read about sant and bhagats they are described as having a lalli about their face . What would entice Guru ji , it can only be our loving minds and hearts in His remembrance . This negative red is the one that drags us headlong into 5 chors - if you eat in a red room , you eat more lobh

if you wear red you attract attention so get full of haumai and Ahankar

if you are in a red room it increases your aggressive nature krodh

the colour red is associated with base chakra so has frequency effect on sexual sphere also I read in a study that if either sex wears that colour it makes the other sex more 'interested' Kaam

if you wear red the more you want wear it and it catches your own eye MOH

[RanjeetSingh]

Please please please, red is nothing more than just a colour. The Gurbani about the lady wearing red and Guru Ji advising her to get rid of the red, put yourselves in that time, wearing red for females was a 'dress up' colour.

If Guru Granth Sahib Ji clearly tells us God is within all colours and then within none, how can we Sikhs follow a Rehat written by a man and not our Guru. I know the history behind Bhai Nand Lal Ji but we need to start thinking and questioning. If whatever the rehatnama contradicts what the Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj says, dispose of it because I know that our Gurus could not say one thing in one place and then go against it or contradict it in another passage.

There is no colour restriction in Sikhi and nor do certain colours mean anything. If people believe wearing red makes one and think of a sin then maybe its for that individual to practice this upon themselves because the colour red wont mean the same for everyone.

You punjabis are dumb. Red was worn by Bandai Sikhs and ascetics, Green was worn by the mughal army. We are told to wear blue garments by Pyara Bhai Daya Singh, the first of the panj pyare and we are told in rehat not to wear red or green. Who are you compared to Pyara Bhai Daya Singh?

Also in Karninama by Akali Guru Nanak Dev Ji it states that the Khalsa will wear blue.

Drop your ego. All you punjabis that wanna wear your red or green patiala shahi paghs to match your shirts and ties go ahead, but don't try and justify it with your manmat when its stated in maryada and you haven't bothered to look into it.
