Yellow is the most favourite colour of Lord Ganesha. This colour denotes wisdom, blessings, and happiness. That's why the colour yellow is worn at the time of new work or any good starting. This is the reason why Lord Ganesha is offered yellow sweets called laddus. It is believed that Lord Ganesha loves laddu and modak.

The colour red is also very dear to Lord Ganesha. That is the reason one finds people adorning Lord Ganesha in red attire quite often. Red flowers offered to Ganesha please him soon, and he bestows blessings upon his devotees. That's why you see that red flowers like hibiscus and red oleander are common to be offered to him. He especially loves the redhibiscus flower. Offering this flower to Lord Ganesha is believed to help remove obstacles for his devotees eventually.

According to Vastu, if you're placing an idol of Lord Ganesha in your home on the occasion of Ganesh Utsav, then it is very auspicious if the colour of the idol is red. This colour signifies energy.

By incorporating these colours into your Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, devotees can express their love and devotion to Lord Ganesha, invoking his blessings for a prosperous and happy life.
