And if a man wears a red dress shirt or red suit, anything loud in the color red, would be throwing off on the blood of Jesus, or one could say that they are being "lose, careless, etc" with the blood due to their choice of color.

Personally I think that if you're avoiding the color red based upon this principle you may need to look in your heart for idolatry. My blood is "crimson red" too.

Well, again... what's good for you and me may not be necessary for eveyone else. Evangelist Benincasa, is an example of someone I'm told looks good in pink and I'd never question his manhood for it.

In my opinion it will not make anyone closer to God should they adhere to this standards, nor will it break anyone from having a close relation with God if they choose not to.

We are in agreement here, I believe. Personally I think we should have kept the old standard about "not shaving your face smooth like a woman's." The old timers put a lot of stock in a man looking like a man.
