The stereotypical pilgrim wears black and white. We know that they actually wore color because black dye was practically impossible to get in the U.S and was very expensive, and they were poor. They didn't wear a rainbow, they just didn't wear black and white all the time. We obviously don't know exactly what they wore because we weren't there and they aren't here!
Clothes in the time of Jesus were made by weaving fibers, such as wool or linen, into fabric using handheld looms. The fibers were spun into threads, which were then woven together to create the cloth. Garments were often sewn by hand and decorated with embroidery, dye, or other embellishments.
Most Buddhist monks do shave their heads as a symbol of renunciation and detachment from worldly desires. Shaving the head also represents simplicity and humility. Additionally, it is a practical way to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the monastic lifestyle.
It was originally more of a red color, a deep crimson. The dye was quite expensive, being derived from a species of sea snail in the region of ancient Phoenicia, and only the very rich could afford it. As a result, it became associated with people at the very top of the socio-economic ranks. Over time, the preferred shade became the one we know as purple today, but the name was kept, owing to its royal associations.
To understand the significance of the colour red in religion it is important to learn the history of red dye. The following is an excerpt from the book "A perfect Red" by Amy Butler Greenfield. I have used it here as a short introduction into that history. "A Perfect Red recounts the colorful history of cochineal, a legendary red dye that was once one of the world's most precious commodities. Treasured by the ancient Mexicans, cochineal was sold in the great Aztec marketplaces, where it attracted the attention of the Spanish conquistadors in 1519. Shipped to Europe, the dye created a sensation, producing the brightest, strongest red the world had ever seen. Soon Spain's cochineal monopoly was worth a fortune. Desperate to find their own sources of the elusive dye, the English, French, Dutch, and other Europeans tried to crack the enigma of cochineal. Did it come from a worm, a berry, a seed? Could it be stolen from Mexico and transplanted to their own colonies? Pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies -- all joined the chase for cochineal, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. A Perfect Red tells their stories -- true-life tales of mystery, empire, and adventure, in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth. " As the book tells, the luxurious red colour became widely sought after and could only be afforded by those with great wealth. Monarchs, nobles and courtiers would dress in garments dyed with cochineal; it became a symbol of wealth, majesty and power. For exactly this reason the church embelished itself with items of red clothing and decoration. If Christ and his followers could be portrayed in this majestic colour the church could reaffirm its status within an increasingly faithless world. To this day the colour red is synonymous with luxury and decadance in Royal, political and religious establishments the world around.
