(To be fair, the colors do vary by nation and subculture, but black is a mourning color in the West, and the Mediterranean - it is largely not the color associated with mourning in the Muslim faith - white predominates there - as it does with their religious practices - they largely wear white to Friday services, for example.)
Examples: See here - and these may be Med or westernized to a degree (otherwise influenced by the western traditions) - lots of dark/black - of course lots of western clothes - but the body is in white.
Here is a mixed attendance - the more traditional the dress, the more likely it is to be white:
And finally - far more common in heavily Muslim areas:
