There is a bit of controversy about how hair loses it's color. One of the reasons is extreme stress. Those apocryphal stories of a person's hair becoming white over night have been proven, and extremely rare. But hair will change color most often due to continuing stress.
Since it is a fact that this is one of the causes (one can't choose his life situation all the time), nutritional support could help with the problem. It is also a known fact that the B vitamins are nutritional factors to alleviate stress damage to the body.
If this is so, then it could not hurt to add a multivitamin to your diet which contains them. On a personal note, I have been using a B vitamin supplement for years, I am in my late 50's and have not turned gray. Perhaps it is because of the vitamins or because of genetics; I do not know. But I believe it is a factor.
