Solution in search of a problem, IMO
My point is, that if my partner(s) tell me they're going to say "orange", then I'll follow suit, or if they're going to say "purple", then I'll do the same. It's just easier, especially in HS games, with the personnel we get at the table, for all of us to use the same designations.

I've had several off-season games, AAU, in which the Home team was light blue, and the Visitors' colour was dark blue. In most instances, we used the nomenclature of "light" and "dark." I've had a couple of partners who insisted on referring to the light blue as white (?) and the dark as blue.
