If the purpose of the photos is to recognize a girl right away, a B&W isn't your best bet (again, something that actors deal with).
If it's an artsy photo it probably won't look dated, but the point about hair/eye/skin color is a good one.

Though if it's either very, very blonde or very, very dark brown/black that would still be evident in the black and white photo.
