Colour coded turbans?

**Back in the nineteenth century, a green turban signified that the wearer had made the hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), according to a biography of Richard Francis Burton; I don’t remember if that’s specific to a particular tradition or branch of Islam. (Burton studied Sufism for a while.) **

Thanks to you, I found this thread in a vanity search! I do have something to add though. In Malaysia, only Moslems who have been to Mecca get to wear white caps.
