The world of Allah is full of Colors and Designs. Actually the Beauty of the world owes to the coloring and designing, only. Imagine it without Colors and without any Design , and you'll understand. One of the Attributes of Allah is that He is Al Mousawwir المصور The Artist ,The Fashioner.
59:24
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقُ ٱلۡبَارِئُ ٱلۡمُصَوِّرُۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
He is Allah the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the most excellent names; whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
35:28
And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, are they of various colours. Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge: for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.
16:13
And the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colours (and qualities): verily in this is a sign for men who celebrate the praises of Allah (in gratitude).
30:22
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
So how can one Color be better than another Color?
Allah does not discriminate on behalf of Colors or Languages etc.
49:13
O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.
Modesty canNOT be attributed to 'Black or White Color' only. Why Muslim women are supposed to wear a black covering in scorching heat of sun? Why she needs to wear white like corpse?
Allah has forbidden the 'Public Display' of beauty and adornment /decoration/embelishment زينت that can be tempting, only. It does not mean all Muslim women are supposed to wear a 'uniform' and they can't dress-up decently, their cultural or traditional way.
7:26
يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ لِبَاسً۬ا يُوَٲرِى سَوۡءَٲتِكُمۡ وَرِيشً۬اۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ذَٲلِكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ۚ ذَٲلِكَ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.
So What is the color of Taqwa ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ? (Green? :)
I wonder what will most Muslims think if someone will change the color of Kaba's Cover?
It's our stereotype thinking which is making Islam difficult to understand, not Quran or its teachings.
صِبۡغَةَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ صِبۡغَةً۬ۖ وَنَحۡنُ لَهُ ۥ عَـٰبِدُونَ
2:138 (We take our) colour from Allah, and who is better than Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.
