Kippah/Yarmulka Question?

It's been a while since I have attended a Shabbat service. The other night I was invited to an evening Shabbat service at a reform temple by a friend. Not thinking much about it I grabbed my old black felt kippah (stenciled around the rim with the star of David). My choice of it was simple reasoning, it is comfortable and stays on my head without clip. It's like an pair of slippers to me. Anyway, while at the service I noticed that I was about the only one wearing a black kippah. Most were wearing white, a few wore blue, one had a knit brown, and one kid had one that looked like a soccer ball. Later someone asked if I was visiting from the conservative synagogue nearby. I am not sure if the question was because I was not a familiar face to them or because of my kippah. In the past I have worn a white one to weddings, plain black to funerals and knits ones to outdoor events. Anyway, my question is this. Is there a protocol for what is the appropriate kippah to wear for a given occasion?

Kippah/Yarmulka Question?
Wearing Kippas in a synagogue is a matter of personal comfort, as far as color, size, style, etc... Starting from Orthodox, to Reform, there is a general teaching that Kippas are black.. solid black. Then there are various versions of black... Knitted, Velvet, Linnen, Polyester, etc... Depending upon where you are, and how religiously observant you are, will determine what the community wears. However, you can never wear a wrong kippa to a synagogue. I used to wear ones that matched my ties, and socks - I was color coordinated. No one cared, so long as I wore one. In Coservative Shuls, the standard black polyester is typically worn. Again, there is nothing to specify or require one or the other. You could even wear white... though white is generally reserved for the High Holiday services. Reform shuls, started as a movement away from the stringency of Orthodox prayers, intentionally didn't wear black, or kippas at all. Again, it's all just a matter of your personal preference.
Reply:No! For normal service you can wear any color you want.... even for any other service! I've gone to bat mitzvahs where they were handing out light purple kippahs... I mean, seriously. Yes, it's more appropriate for weddings to wear white and funerals black, but I see nothing wrong with wearing black for standard service.
