No, they actually wore colorful clothing. The black and white outfit is how they were portrayed in 19th century paintings. It became a uniform of a sort--the artists' subjects were immediately recognizable as Pilgrims because the artists followed the stereotype.

Did the pilgrims wear outfits that had color in them or did they wear outfits that were just plain black and white?

The stereotypical pilgrim wears black and white. We know that they actually wore color because black dye was practically impossible to get in the U.S and was very expensive, and they were poor. They didn't wear a rainbow, they just didn't wear black and white all the time. We obviously don't know exactly what they wore because we weren't there and they aren't here!


What colors do pilgrims wear?

Colonists or Pilgrims wore mostly either all white, all black, or a combination of white and black (such as white shirt, black pants and coat). Dyes were expensive, not always available - especially in frontier areas. As more skilled persons arrived in America, tailors along with of course fabric makers and dyers set up their shops. Later, you'd find strong colors (example red), or accent colors, and prints.
