Commentary for Avodah Zarah 40:4
ולא בבגדי צבע [של] אשה: א"ר יהודה אמר שמואל אפילו שטוחין על גבי כותל א"ר פפא ובמכיר בעליהן אמר רבא דיקא נמי דקתני ולא בבגדי צבע אשה ולא קתני ולא בבגדי צבעונין שמע מינה
“Nor at a woman’s colored garments!” R. Judah b. Shmuel said: Even when they are lying against the wall. Papa said: But only if knows their owner. Rava said This is also proved by the wording which teaches, “Nor at a woman’s colored garments,” but does not teach “at colored garments.” This proves it.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
One may not look at a woman’s colored garments, even when a woman is not wearing them. These too may be sexually arousing. However, this is limited to a case where the man knows the woman to whom they belong.
