Yes, the alteration to 3-5-4 is an unannounced rule change this season. It is a good one though as there is no decent way for a game official to know the school colors for a particular institution. What if the school is visiting from out of state and just wearing black uniforms? So the committee wisely changed from a school color to the predominant color of the uniform.
The notice from the NFHS correcting the Case Book ruling is posted in the NFHS website with the Interpretations for this season.

Case Book Corrections:
Pages 25-26, 3.5.4 SITUATION, RULING Correction: illegal equipment in (a); the blue headbands and wristbands do not match the predominant color of the uniform (white).
Page 29, 4.14.1D SITUATION, RULING Correction: Officials notify the Team A coach of the disqualification and allow a substitute for A1. The points made by A1 will stand. B3 is allowed to shoot the free throws for the technical foul and Team B is given the ball at half court to continue the game. (4-14-2; 2-11-5 Note)
Page 70, 9.1 COMMENT: Sentence 2 should read: Once a free throw begins no player may enter or leave a marked lane space or break with either foot the vertical plane of a free throw lane line or lane space boundary prior to the release of the ball by the free thrower. Delete last sentence.
