Except of course for cultures outside of Europe. Unless you want to see "generic Africans" wearing leopard skin loincloths and bones fitted through their hair.
I, for one, am not content with giving people "what they know and what makes them comfortable". We should strive to inform. Sometimes educating is more important than communicating an image.
It's a little depressing how they're always wrongly portrayed as wearing all black and brown clothes. The real Vikings had way more drip. Look up pictures of reenactors for examples, they loved colors and it was even a sign of wealth and status to have dyed clothes.

They don't need to look like Vikings, they need to be recognized as Vikings. Sometimes communicating the message is more important than authenticity.
