The color selection of robes is very well studied and very strict. The color used by ancient people is not only the need of human nature, but also the symbol of a race or tribe. In the ancient Paleolithic Age, people dyed their clothes with hematite. In Xia Dynasty, they advocated black. In Zhou Dynasty and Han Dynasty, they advocated red and Qin Dynasty. After the demise of Qin Dynasty, they advocated yellow. For the first time, the dragon robe worn by China Emperor Liu Heng was yellow. From then on, yellow was regarded as the noblest and symbolized the central government for a long time. So this trend continued until the end of feudal society. The colors of the figures on the robe are composed of light moon white, pinyue and plain blue, and the "bat" has several colors such as vermilion, bordeaux, crimson, incense and bronze. "Ruyitou" consists of bright blue, moonlight, navy blue, pink, pink, bordeaux and snow ash.

The official robes of the Ming emperor were mainly yellow silk, and other colors were also available. Half of them were chosen to represent noble and solemn colors. These belong to personal washing, and always wearing the same clothes will also form visual fatigue. As long as there are no patterns on the robe.
