Gadlus Hadam is the mainstay of Slabodka mussar. Part of Gadlus Hadam is dressing like a mentch. A nice colored shirt does not detract from your dressing like a mentch. Colored shirts do not detract from being a ben torah in any way, despite what some folks may think. Is a white shirt with a Nautica logo on the pocket any more “yeshivish” than a blue shirt with no logo? There are plenty of CC folks who wear white shirts. CC is not obsessed with the color of the shirt/hat, rather the middos and mentslechkeit displayed by the wearer of said hat/shirt. There is no policy to wear a white shirt or a policy to wear a colored shirt.
