Disagree.
In a utopian world, basketball players would be either be dressed in all dark, or all white. Everything - jerseys, shorts, shoes, socks, equipment, tape, braces, hair control devices, etc. Everything.
Confusion and mistakes will still be made, but they won't be because of confusing colors.
But it's not a utopian world, so compromises are made, and lines are drawn.
My line is that colors above the waist (including arms) are more important than colors below the waist.
If I were the king of basketball, color restrictions would be based on that line of demarcation.
But I'm not the king of basketball, so I (pretty much) do what the NFHS and my local interpreter and assigner tell me to do.
Note: I often wonder why some basketball players wear bright fluorescent shoes. If I were a basketball player, I wouldn't want any extra attention drawn to my feet, or make it any easier for officials to observe my feet. I bet it costs such a player a few extra travels every season, travels that might otherwise be missed.
