A player may not participate while wearing illegal equipment or apparel.

So if it's not just a different shade, but a different color, a technical gets them in the game?
I think 3-5.1 gives me enough to not let them participate and avoid a technical. (My guess was that this coach knew the real jersey was on the way, and he was more willing to have his player not start if it got there late than he was to start the game with the other team shooting a technical).
Looking back, it probably would have been best to let her play with the different shade jersey and avoid everything. Live and learn, live and learn.
