Navratri is a festival that last nine days during which we worship Goddess Durga in nine different forms. Each of the Navdurga avatars have their own significance and style of worshipping. Also, the colours for Navratri are designated to each of these nine devis of Navratri. The colours for goddess Durga are very special and each of these colours must be worn on the stipulated day.

Navdurga avatars are all parts of Goddess Durga. However, these Devis are worshipped separately because each of them has a particular significance and 'vidhi' or procedure for their puja is different.

There are nine colours assigned to the nine devis who are part of Navdurga. The Goddess is dressed in a particular colour but it is not necessary that her devotees must be dressed in the same colour. For example, Goddess Chandraghanta wears orange but her devotees must wear white on the third day of Navratri.

These are the nine colours for nine days of Navratri. If you want to please the Goddess Durga, then wear the right colours on the respective days.
