I'm not exactly sure about that, Aryan.

I remember coming across several hadiths (of which I was able to find one) describing the Prophet's (sAaw) clothing, and the turban is usually said to be black. (Sometimes white).

In fact, if you look at the scholars of the Shia madhhab, you'll find that those who claim to be asyaad (descendants of the Prophet) wear only black turbans.

Sahih Muslim, Book 007, Number 3149:
Ja'far bin 'Amr bin Huraith reported his father as saying: As if I am seeing Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the pulpit with a black turban on his head, and its two ends hanging between his shoulders.
I heard that the Prophet's (sAaw) favourite colour was green. But there's nothing to prove this, I think.
