Please be so kind and tell me is it true that certain colours of clothing are haraam for men to wear, if so which colours are haraam and why ?

Answer

It is Makrooh (disliked) for men to wear red or yellow clothes. (Shaami vol.6 pg.358; HM Saeed)

However, this refers to the entire garment being red or yellow. If the colours are broken with other colours, it will not be Makrooh to wear these clothes.
