He could see them clearly now: they appeared to have cast aside their hoods and black cloaks, and they were robed in white and grey.

Perhaps another interesting question is why they are robed in the colours of Gandalf. After all, much is made of Gandalf's colours. What is the relationship of the wraith-world and that of the maiar? Was Tolkien running out of colours or is there some kinship of the spirit world?
