Khalsa colour is Yellow and not kesri or orange

[shastarSingh]

Khalsa colour is Yellow or basanti.

In 20th century kesri colour got infiltrated into the sikh religion by anti-sikh hindu organisations and even our nishan Sahib became kesri.

John griffiths in 1794 writes that Singhs either wear deep blue or YELLOW.

They never shave either Head or Beard; They sometimes wear yellow, but the prevailing Colour of their Cloths is deep blue; They make their Turbans capaciously large, over which they frequently wear a piece of pliable Iron Chain or Network.

I went to a Sikh Empire exhibition a few years back and a British man visiting Amritsar in the 19th century wrote that Sikh women were mostly wearing Blue or Yellow clothes.

Not sure bro, I'll go through the photos I took at the exhibition, I might have taken a photo of it. 

But it shows how Sikh women had a different appearance.

Bhai daya Singh rahitnama also lists yellow as a khalsa colour.

Dark grey is wrong English translation below. Original text is 'surmaye' which means dark blue or deep blue.

Daya Singh Rahit-nama
Clothing should be dark grey, white, yellow, or green. Do not wear red clothing.

A Translation of the Seir Mutaqharin, ca. 1789
Ghulam Hussain Khan, translated by M. Raymond, 1789
They form a particular society as well as a sect, which distinguishes itself by wearing almost always blue cloaths (v), and going armed at all times.

(v) It is true that they wear only a short blue jacket, and blue longdraws: but they use likewise the yellow and the white in their turbans, as well as the blue, although by the by the latter is the general colour.
