Colour Of Dastaar/Dhumalla

[SantSapai]

Gurfateh ji,

I am looking for the really deep blue that Nihung Singh's wear.

I buy dastaars online (UK) but the colour fades quick and two dastaars are never the same shade when newly ordered.

I came across an online store in Panjab with the colour 'tohra'. The pic is a deep blue but pics are pics.

Has anyone heard of this shade of blue?

I was gifted the blue I want/talking about (really deep blue almost purple tint) years ago and use it as a keski. The colour hasn't faded in 7 years of use and washing (f74 malmal).

Anyone help?

Thank you ji

Akaal!

royal blue would the color you are talking about (that nihungs wear). but I'm not familiar with tohra. hopefully that was some help lol

[jkvlondon]

you could buy uncoloured bolt and dye it to your dastar colour using fast dyes made out here in the west, some even can even be done in the washing machine

Royal blue is what I had, and it was brighter.

I heard that color is just navy blue.

Might be a oxford blue

Oxford blue or Royal blue 

Akali Royal Blue I believe people call it.

Thank you all...

I order Royal Bluebut there's always a difference.

Maybe a trip to Anandpur Sahib is due to get some

"Tohra" is just a shorthand that some shopkeepers (and some turban-wearers) use to describe the color of turban that the longtime President of the SGPC, Gurcharan Singh Tohra, used to wear. Something like this:

Avtar Singh (Makker) and other old-time Akali Dal members wore the same color.
