Colour of the patka or dastar is of no relevence - its just superstition.

There was a rahit nama - fairly certain its Bhai Daya Singh's, that forbids wearing a suhi rang dastar. This is because red was the colour or jogis and qalandaris. However like most puratan rahits, I would not trust them as hukum, because people these days just quote the bits from them that fulfill their agenda - otherwise when you look closer they contain things that Sikhs these days do not agree with or follow.

Taksalis and Nihangs talk about Khlasa colours of black, blue, white and orange. Hence they wear these colours. I do not know why.

Dastar looks good matched to your tie or shirt. If wearing a pocket square, the minority colour in the square should match the dastar colour, otherwise it overdoes it. (Just my own fashion opinions btw).

in sikhi...only following colors are accepted Blue,Kesri, and White.

Black is not allowed becuase Black is considered as a color of sorrow or evil nature. Muslims wore this color (in remembrance and sorrow)when Ali,Hasan and Husain(Lineage of Prophet Mohammed) were martyred in Battle of Karbala by Yazids. Black is also considered as ignorant and Guru Ke sikh donot wear Ignorant colors on their heads and mind

What a silly topic. Of all the serious issues facing us and we're sat here discussing this of all matters? It doesn't even warrant an answer to be frank. But for the record, colour doesn't matter at all. This continual obsession with irrelevant and trivial matters will further alienate the youth.

Try to encourage the Sikhs to wear the turban in the first instance. I couldn't care less if it's green or pink.

In addition, if black is the colour of protest only, then currently 95% of UK Sikhs must be in a continual state of protest at the moment!
