It's in the same verse as the jewelry! You're using that as proof that jewelry's wrong, so it follows that red and purple would be.

I am constantly amazed at this pretzel logic.

Are you wanting to do away with the whole scripture since you have not got an answer about colors. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE JEWELRY SUBJECT? KEEP AVOIDING IT AND TRY TO OPEN ANOTHER DISCUSSION?

You are still missing the point? You're argument goes "She's a whore, she wears jewelry, therefore Jewelry is wrong" essentially. Well if that is true then logically wearing purple and scarlet is wrong too because she ALSO wore that

that's also where some preachers get their justification for preaching against wearing red clothing.

Rev 21:9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

Let's look at how God adorned this city

Rev 21:11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Rev 21:12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed--
Rev 21:13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.
Rev 21:16 The city lies foursquare; its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.
Rev 21:17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement.
Rev 21:18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.
Rev 21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
Rev 21:20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

Hmmmm...it got quite after this

Please, learn context. Study biblical history.

The double standards surrounding this issue just make my teeth itch.

Most of my jewelry comes from Target and costs about $10. I have a colorful necklace that I wear with one outfit. I was going to a shindig where there would be a lot of Pentecostals and was planning to wear that outfit. Not wanting to offend, I wasn't going to wear the necklace. But the outfit looked plain to me without it. I had an idea - I could have taken that necklace, laid it around the edge of the neckline, tacked it on with some thread so that it looked like it was part of the dress, and VOILA! No more sin, no more offense.

Or I could have taken the necklace and used it as a headband on my hair and slid right on into heaven.

Those big honkin' feathers everyone wears in their hair or on their clothes are so much more "adorning" than a simple gold chain around your neck, but one's legal, one isn't.

The inconsistencies just set my teeth on edge.

or a woman wearing a fancy scarf
or a man wearing a cloth necklace (neck tie)

also, what if she wore shoes? does that make shoes wrong?
what if she wore underwear? does that make underwear wrong?
Or, since those two things are not mentioned, are they irrelevant?

That's like preachers quoting about Jezebel styling her hair and painting her face and preaching against face painting but not against combing hair.

Hmmmm. Maybe it is because it didn't answer a single question. Didn't even know where you were going.

I think all preachers should preach against a woman styling her hair with a painted face.
