Europeans and black clothing
Why so much black is worn (or rather, why it's sold - have you seen how much they're asking?):

(it's the middle item of this collection).

I have to defend black. It's a great travel color because it goes with everything and it doesn't show the dirt. I take two pairs of black pants with me on trips and I can go from day to evening with just a change of tops.

I'll definitely support the dark-color approach, whether it's black or another shade.
My color scheme for my upcoming trip is dark green and dark grey trousers, paired with black and dark-blue shirts. Somewhat less boring than *all* black.
While dark colors do conceal light soil, my experience is that it's best to ensure whatever you plan to wear is easily washed in a sink (or shower, but that's an earlier discussion), and dries quickly, even on a damp night.

In Italy NOT every Italian was wearing black. Everyday clothes weren't bright, but they weren't all black...I saw beige, and other sorts of neutral colors. Didn't see bright colors for everyday clothes. Earthy tones, I'd call them.
