Why were the union and the confederates called the blue and the grey?
They came to be called the blue and the gray because of the typical color of their respective uniforms. The Union would have ample supply of uniforms so they would, with a few exceptions, always be clad in blue.
Later in the war, the Confederates on the other hand could not count on fresh clothing from government sources, and would come to rely on uniforms made of homespun cloth. The dyes used may come out gray, but were just as likely to be brown, tan, or somewhere in between. The Southern soldier would later become known as butternuts due to the brownish yellow color that seemed to become common with homespun clothing.

Who does evolutionism impact the most?
The important issue is that the Question does not ask about the impact of evolution, but the impact of evolutionism. "Evolutionism" is defined as the belief that evolution explains the origin of species.
The body of science relating to evolution should not be considered "evolutionism", since the term suggests belief, rather than knowledge and scientific theory. Nevertheless, creationists tend to use the term to suggest that the Theory of Evolution and creationism should be treated as equal concepts.
Arguably, since the term "evolutionism" is mainly used by creationists, it is creationists themselves who are mainly impacted by evolutionism.
