To build on your theory, which is one I am also familiar with, if you buy into natural selection at all, it would also make sense that in the lighter, more colorless climate of the north, that a camouflage effect would be useful among a nomadic people, in much the same way as it benefits animals. It might not play as much of a role, but worth consideration nonetheless.

No matter; I've always believed that blackness or whiteness, as a genetic component, was environmentally functional. As an aesthetic component, I think our creative God just loves variety. Imagine if flowers and birds were only one color.
