And if you don't default to calling them tights, or leg sleeves, and choose to call them compression shorts, how do you determine the color of the uniform? Color of the jersey, like the undershirt rule? Or, color of the shorts, like the old compression shorts rule?

Bye bye compression shorts.

Silly NFHS monkeys (I miss Jurassic Referee).

Yeah, I was talking about compression shorts. My attempt at a comical view of the matter is it's underwear. I'm not going to go looking for it. Coaches saying "yes" is enough for me.

Similar to Jersey color is the rule now.

Check again. The rule states "uniform" color. Now find me a NFHS definition of uniform color? Jersey? Shorts?

There is absolutely no need for any reference to compression shorts in the NFHS rulebook. Tights, or leg sleeves (black, white, beige, or jersey color) should cover anything that's now called compression shorts. Maybe there used to be need for compression shorts in the rules when tights were illegal, but tights are now legal.
