Color Description
White Silk

White Silk slaves in the novels simply mean that the girl is 'not opened' to the use of men, in other words she is a virgin. Somewhere along the lines the term White Silk came to mean the girl was untrained, or reserved. This is not correct and should not be condoned.

Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are ‘white silk’ and ‘red silk’, for girls, who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.

"Are you white silk?" I asked.
"I am a virgin," she said.
"Then you are white silk,"I said.
"Yes, Master," she said.

Red Silk

Red Silk slaves are simply slaves who are not virgins, those which have been opened to men. Red Silk slaves can be untrained, just as White Silk girls can be trained. The silk color has to do simply with their sexual status.

Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are ‘white silk’ and ‘red silk’, for girls, who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.

Dancer of Gor; p. 128


"There is a stain of blood on your thigh," I said.
"My Master took my virginity," she said.
"You are now a red-silk girl," I said.
"Yes, Master," she said, "I am now a red-silk girl."
"Whose red-silk girl?" I asked.
"Your red-silk girl, Master," she said.

Black Silks

A Black Silk slave is an adaption to AOL Gor which should not be condoned. These are masterless slave girls and should be collared on sight.
Gray Silks

A girl adorning Gray Silks is a State owned slave, or belonging to the City. Be aware that when dealing with a state slave, you will suffer the consequences of that respective City.

The garmenture of the state slave, that of a girl owned by the city itself, some time ago, had been brief, sleeveless and gray, slashed to the waist. The collar worn by such slaves had been gray, matching the tunic, and it had been customary to lock about their left ankle a steel band, also gray, from which depended five small bells, also of gray metal.

Yellow Silks

Slave girls that wear yellow silks are supposedly tavern owned slaves, used in paga taverns for serving, cleaning, cooking, pleasing the guests, etc. Though paga slaves can be clothed in any material their masters deem fit, yellow tends to be a common color.

She came through the kitchen door, in the tiny slip of diaphanous yellow silk allotted to paga slaves, bells locked on her left ankle. She was doubtless returning to the floor after her rest, to freshen her for further service. I had not seen her before. She carried a vessel of paga. She was barefoot on the tiles.

Green Silks

Slaves adorned in green are the slaves of huntsmen, accompanying their masters through the forests as they hunt, hence the green clothing to help further conceal them.

They then, in the brief green tunics of the slaves of huntsmen, shouldered their burdens and followed their masters through the double gate of the palisade.
