No need to use common sense here. It's already specifically and clearly covered by the rule.
The most nit-picking, overly officious, "rules expert" official, with almost no common sense, can interpret this correctly just based on the literal rule language.
3-5-6: Undershirts must be a single solid color similar to the torso of the jersey ...
"Similar" is not the same as "same".
For example, a yellow undershirt, by rule, is similar enough to a gold jersey to be legal.
