Black (alternate) --- all ranks, and members of the public, for a funeral



The colour code for sunggingan wrongko is different, and refers to the base colour only:-


White or yellow --- bupati

Gold --- pangeran

Sea blue --- penewu

Light green --- mentri.

The colour code is permitted, but not enforced.


The canthangbalung can wear any colour, but they must wear it with jejeran rojomolo.
Alan, sorry, please can you explain penewu, mentri, lurah, jajar, pangeran and canthangbalung? Or try to give a translation? I only know the word bupati. Thank's in advance,

Detlef
