It is my impression that they are not referring to the tie but to the total color scheme of the attire.

Ask the host of the event. If this is a BYOB event, perhaps they are referring to a brand of Scotch Whisky.

I agree. I have attended "Black & White Balls". The term describes the theme of the affair, which includes the color of the attire. Gentlemen usually wear tuxedos, while the women don gowns (or in some cases cocktail dresses) that are either black, white, or a combination of the two colors.

This was what I was ultimately informed. I will wear tux, but my bride has decided to wear a blood-red evening gown!

Reminds me of a scene from the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair", with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. In the scene, Brosnan's character is attending a black and white ball, which Russo's character crashes wearing a black dress and heaven forbid,...a red shoulder wrap.
All you would need to attend in highland attire would be a kilt in a black and white tartan with black hose, and a doublet or pc. Although, I'm not quite sure how the overall effect would be on the eyes......
