There are no hard rules pertaining to color worn...

​

In the books...
A white silk is a virgin,
A red silk a non virgin

​

A yellow silk is often worn by paga slaves, and a scarlet silk a dancer.

​

Color is more of a symbol. A dancer can be dressed in purple, a red silk dressed in gold. 

​

There is a lot of confusion in the online environment over the color of slave silk and what the color of this silk means.

Nowhere in the writings is the color of silk an indication of the 'level' of a slave.

​

​

So why do we use colors to indicate the level of a slave in RLC?

​

It gives the girl a sense of achievement. It is exciting to reach each color and eventually achieve the coveted red silk status. It also lets others know the level of the slave.

​

Although, we personally like to stick to the books as often as possible. We do like the idea of having colors show a girl's advancement.
