Changing Hair Color for a Widow

Question
Is it permissible for a woman in her fifties, who has been a grandmother for years, to change her hair color from light blonde to dark brown while in her mourning period, not for the purpose of beautification, but due to the reason of death?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It seems that changing the hair color is considered adornment, so it is not permissible during the waiting period, and God knows best.
