Laal

salok ma 1 ||
naa mailaa naa dhhu(n)dhhalaa naa bhagavaa naa kach ||
naanak laalo laal hai sachai rathaa sach ||1||

Shalok, First Mehl:
Neither dirty, nor dull, nor saffron, nor any color that fades.
O Nanak, crimson - deep crimson is the color of one who is imbued with the True Lord. ||1||

This Shabad reminds me of something I heard by Abida Parveen which was something like,

'lalli mere laal ki jitt dekhoo titt laal,
laalli dekhan mein ga-in, mein vi ho gayee laal'
