Little Fun Fact on the Matter: Buddhist Monks wear Saffron Robes that look familiar don't they? Actually the garment was introduced by Alexander the Great on the Indian Subcontinent it actually is therefore derived from the Greek Himation, better known by it's Roman equivalent/name Toga. Instead of the Senators and Konsuls Purpur the rare and valueable dye in  India is Saffron of course therefore they became orange.
