Agree.

I figured that this was the "purple rule". I had forgotten about orange (that many of us refer to as "red"), or yellow.
Back in my middle school teaching days, I was in charge of basketball intramurals.
Players had to wear T-shirts (not provided by the school) that matched the color (T-shirts could have images, logos, lettering, etc.) of team that they were assigned to.
Sometimes we had as many as eight teams.
Some T-shirt colors were a lot easier to find than other T-shirt colors.
White, red, green, gray, black, and blue were usually easy.
Orange, yellow, and purple were often not so easy.
Sometimes we would have a dark blue team and light blue team (light blue was often easier to find than purple, yellow, or orange).
Sometimes, if low numbers allowed, we would allow players on one team to wear either yellow or orange, close enough, same part of the spectrum.
