You want confusion, try dealing with 3 colors.

A couple of years ago, the one recreation-style weekend tournament I always work at had a semifinal where both teams had the same gray tournament shirts. the host's solution - give one of the teams leftover shirts. some were green (I think) and some were white. I still remember changing numbers on my scoresheet to 6W and 6G.

I'm surprised we didn't have calls that went something like "Off green, white ball... err gray ball."

Moral of the story: three colors are not always better than one.
