Did evacuees only wear black usually?

Evacuees did not exclusively wear black; their clothing varied widely depending on personal circumstances, available resources, and the context of their evacuation. While some may have worn dark colors for practical reasons, such as hiding dirt or for mourning, many others wore whatever was available, which could include a range of colors and styles. The choice of clothing often reflected the individual's background and the urgency of their situation rather than a strict adherence to a particular color scheme.
