[SCA-BMDL] Sca-bmdl Digest, Vol 35, Issue 1

[Karen Kasper]

Nope. There are no sumptuary laws in AEthelmearc. Those are laws restricting the colors, fabrics etc. that people can wear. There are restricted symbols in the SCA, like the knights' white belt and chain, the pelican and laurel wreath and symbols of the Kingdom orders, but you can make your clothes whatever color you want.
 
That said, period dyes as a general rule produced softer colors than modern chemical dyes do - not meaning pastels or bland, dark colors, but colors closer to those found in nature. Hot pink, electric purple and lime green might not be your best choices. :-) I tend to go for earth-tones or jewel tones, myself.
