I read that in India, white is associated with death and funerals, and so it would be wrong for a man or a woman attending a Hindu wedding to wear white. Is this true? And what would be the best colour to wear?

In India white is considered the color of peace, that is very true.
That is the reason, people attend funeral and death dressed in White, as they pray for peace. White is 100% dress code for mourning.
Marriage is associated with passion, that brings all the warm color into the stage. All hues of Reds, Oranges and Yellows are used for the Bride.
According to Vedic interpretation, marriage is also the beginning of a new progeny, marriage is about fertility. So the color Red is associated with Hindu marriages.
1% people tries to be different and go with other colors. But they are exception.

Yes in Hindu customs widows wear all white (this is now changing widows now wear some light colors but avoid to wear bright ones . Unmarried girls can wear "all white" occasionally but would not wear 'all white/all black' during wedding ceremony Green, red, yellow or pink are prefered colors at the wedding

Ladies in certain religions wear simple white dresses after death of their husband. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong in wearing white pant and shirt or decorative white sarees for Hindu Weddings.

do no longer positioned on a white dress except that is asked which you achieve this. the different colour is suited. that is an ideal dress yet in no way wedding ceremony perfect. extraordinarily no rely if that is in a church. i might advise wearing something slightly longer and doubtless with sleeves or a minimum of a jacket of a few type over it. The crystal accessory, caught-ups, and charm make it appear like something a bride might positioned on. thank you to comparable to wedding ceremony clothing.

You can wear white to a wedding. Indian weddings have a lot more color, beads and glitz, so you might want to wear something with color (so many things available now) but White is great...My sister wore white to her own wedding (we're indian) and she looked amazing.

Young and middle aged ladies with pure white dress are not welcomed at the weddings, especially in Hindu weddings.

BUT,
this system is not followed in a strict manner nowadays.
