Yes.

Basanti and surmaye is GURMAT.

So babbar akalis tying black pagh in protest  were out of gurmat 

As the thousands of taksalis and khadkus who have and still tie kesari keskis and dumalle 

While you're on it, try to get some sarab loh assault rifles

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.

Not just yellow. Blue and yellow. ਬਸੰਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਨੀਲਾ. The Nishan Sahib used to be (and still is in some gurdware and Dal Panth) blue after Guru Gobind Singh ji made it that way.

I think some key words are main Khalsa colors. Also key, in protest. 

I think the only problem people have with kesri is it was imposed. 

If you look at military uniforms a variety of color schemes are used depending on situation but still there is a general standard uniform and color. With other colors being variations for purpose. 

What type of dye one had back in the day was pretty restrictive. Celtic clans all had different colors in their tartans but that had as much to do with the local dye available as any meanings. 

Not sure what steel santalis are made out of. But even then does the santali have to be sarbloh or just the jacket on the projectile? Heh.

When the Turks were first coming to India they mainly wore indigo/blue as it wasn't available in their homeland. During 6 patshahi's time, sikh warriors would wear assorted colors i think

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. 

Did u find the photo veer?

If you think about it Gurbani only talks about natural dyes so it would make sense they would wear undyed cloths, indigo cloth, yellow plant dyes then later other dyes were developed .
