nuns don't always wear black and white. Each community has their own particular habit or style of dress.

The Pink Nuns, Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters wear pink for the Holy Spirit. The Religious of the Assumption wear purple. Some communities do not wear a habit at all. They wear normal modest clothing in keeping with poverty. You could be standing next to them in line somewhere and not know it.
