Jain dharma me Mahavir swami ki rang (skin color) par koi sanketik ya paramdharmik nirdesh nahi diya gaya hai. Shrutiyon me unke shareer ke rang ko mool tattva nahi maana gaya; unka dhyan aur mahattva renunciation (vairagya) aur keval jnan par hai.

• Aksar chitrakala me Mahavir ko adarsh roop se gauravapurn roop me darshaya jaata hai, lekin rang ko dharmik arth se jodna avashyak nahi mana jata. Rang ki charcha prachin lakshana-gaan (auspicious marks) ke varnan me milti hai, par uska arth mukhya roop se jivan ke vishesh gunaon se judta hai, na ki unke rang se.
• Digambar aur Śvetāmbara dono paramparaon me Mahavir ke aavahanik roop ya tarike (jaise ki jiv Aan, shikshā, ya upavasa) par adharit alag-alag vivaran milte hain, lekin rang ko dharmik tareeke se mahatva dena aam taur par alag tareh se nahi kiya jata.
• Mahavir ki asli updesh me rang se adhik unki atma-gyan, vairagya, ahimā aur pūrṇa moksha ki or agrasar hone ki kendra sthiti hai.

Agar aap chahen to is vishay par vistar se uchitar shrut-pustakon ki arth-vyakhya dekh sakte hain, lekin rang ko mukhya dharmik tatva ke roop me dekha jata, ye Jain dharm ke sandarbh me hai.
