"Everyone" used to think the world was flat, too. Just sayin'.
I have always been told to do this because it is harder to say "fuchsia" in with a whistle in your mouth instead of saying "Blue."

And honestly if I called a team by what I think the color is, they honestly would not know what the heck I am talking about anyway. White, Black, Blue, Green are easy to identify by all involved. This is not about being enlightened; this is about making things simple for a simple game.

BTW, good to see you the other day. Thanks for coming out.

Peace
