Nothing official or unofficial about it... and I'm sure the school's "official" colors are purple and something. My high school was maroon.
But I've noticed this as well. Officials (all sports I work) simply won't say purple. Or maroon or orange. It can't be the 2 syllables thing because I've said and heard yellow lots of times (although even there I know a couple that call that team Gold, even though it's plainly yellow.)
