I guess this was a rhetorical question, but the surprising answer
is a qualified "yes".

Afro-brazilian religion Umbanda (which is a mix-up of European
Roman Catholicism, French philosopher Allan Kardec's Spiritism,
African Candomble and Tupi native religions) preach that people
should celebrate New Year with white clothes, but that the
colour of the underwear will bring what you want for the next year - 
so, for example, you should wear yellow to get money, or red to
get a new love (or some other colour code).
