Does gi color matter?
The color of your Gi doesn’t matter in any way. The only restriction on the colors of the BJJ Gi is that the IBJJF and many other BJJ competition federations only allow white, blue, and black.
White, blue, or black color is suitable for competitions and training, but any other colored GI is only used for BJJ training.
