Dressed In Black
Is the following not good:
http://news.yahoo.com/doctor-1-victim-santa-monica-shooting-died-222735749.html
"The shooting began in a neighborhood near the campus, where witnesses say a man dressed in black shot up a house where two people were found dead inside."
Should 'dressed in black' be changed to 'dressed in black clothing', since people are dressed in clothes, not color?

"dressed in black" is fine (other colour names would work equally well too). This is quite a common expression.
