* Dress is a concept, not a specific garment: "Dress" is a broad term for a garment covering the body. It's been around in various forms for thousands of years, and each culture had its own styles and colors.
* Materials varied: Dresses have been made from countless materials, each with its own natural color. Early dresses might have been made from animal skins, linen, wool, or other natural fibers.
* Dyeing is ancient: People began dyeing fabric very early in history, using natural pigments from plants, minerals, and insects. This means dresses likely came in a wide range of colors from the very start.
So, instead of thinking about an "original" color, it's more interesting to consider:
* The earliest forms of clothing: What did prehistoric people wear, and what colors were those materials?
* The history of dyeing: How did people discover and use natural dyes in different parts of the world?
* The evolution of fashion: How have the materials and colors of dresses changed over time, reflecting social and cultural trends?
