Rules of playing:

While throwing colors at others, always aim from the shoulders down. Do not throw directly at someone’s face, always avoid the face and eyes.
Protect your eyes:

Wear goggles or sunglasses to protect your eyes from any colored powder or water entering them.
Color Powder:

The colors that we would be using are made with high quality cornstarch, organic dyes, and baking soda. All dyes are 100% FD&C and/or D&C approved. These color powders are gluten free and do not contain dairy, nuts, wheat, soy, or other common allergens.
Recommendations:

Wear white or light colored clothes so that the colors of Holi stand out in pictures/videos.
Bring towels to place in your cars, to avoid shaking color powder all over the interior of your car and to clean up later.
To get colors off clothing, simply shake off the excess powder and place it in the washing machine.
A quick shower will get colors off skin and hair.
Bring a folding chair if you are not up to or unable to actively participate in color throwing. Enjoy the dancing and music while seated.
