Colors -- Are they immodest?

Is there such a thing as a "wrong" color to wear? One that we should consider immodest or not appropriate to wear? In my humble opinion, I do not think so. God created every color we have, He created the rainbow, the robin's eggs, the sunset, the sunrise, the flowers, all of which use various colors. I am a colorful person and love to wear colors. I feel drab when I wear dark colors, but I do understand their purpose. There are some circumstances which do not call for bright colors, but on an everyday basis, I love to wear the colors which He created for us!

God did not just create blues, purples, greens, black and white, He also created reds, oranges, pinks, yellows and the various shades of each of these. If we allow only certain colors to be permissible for wearing, what are we saying? My closet has always looked like a rainbow, some colors more numerous than others :), but I have felt that if God created the colors, then why should I not wear them? I do not feel that a color will make a person's clothing immodest, I believe it is more the size/fit of the clothing which makes it modest or immodest.

Just a small random post, but this has been on my mind lately :)

Blessings in Christ,

  1. I appreciate your honesty. I love bright, vibrant colours. Might have something to do with being from the tropics where colour abounds. I do know of some plain people that ban certain colours and I understand their reason but do not think those colours are 'wrong'.I am with you on your thoughts about it being the size or style that can make a dress 'right' or 'wrong' for a woman.
