I did a JV game once, where the home team didn't have their white jerseys for some reason. They wore dark, navy blue jerseys and the visitors wore a lighter blue. We informed the captains that would call the light blue "blue" and the dark blue "black".
After the captains went back to the benches, the home coach told me his players felt we were being racist by calling them "black", since most of the players on the team were black.
Looking back on it, I think I could have asked him for alternatives, but it was such a dumb complaint, we just blew it off and went with blue and black.
