Turban Questions

So, I snapped a shot of this taxi driver. Not the best shot, but I found it remarkable that he was wearing a turban that was the same color as the cab.  Now that alone is interesting, but it raised some underlying questions to me. 

Do they make turbans like this, or was it custom made?  Assuming it was custom made, did the cloth come in this color, or was it dyed?  If it is dyed, is it the same color on the inside (probably so). 

Does he wear it every day?  Or only certain days. Perhaps he likes fashion and likes to stylishly match colors. 

Perhaps he gets more tips when he wears it.  If so, how much more, maybe 15%, maybe 25%? 

What inspired the guy to get a turban this color? Is he a member of a taxi club?  Was it for attention? If it was for attention, does he like being looked at, or is he looking for people to ask him about it.

Or, maybe he wants to be photographed?
