Answer
Without mentioning the choice of the colour Green that is
medically/clinically good for the sight, etc., the colour green is the colour of Jannat. Allah Taãla specifically speaks about the green carpets of paradise, etc.
The prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to wear two sheets, one for the upper and the other for the lower. He did not wear trousers. He loved white and advised to wear white as well. However, it is proven that he wore green as well. Men should not wear Maroon as it is a feminine colour. Also, men should avoid wearing very bright or attractive colours.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
