It made me wonder if grey shirts really are permissible on this level (CYO in my area being divided in varsity for grades 7 and 8 and JV for grades 5 and 6).

In many states 6th or 7th grade games are not played under state governing bodies. So the officials could wear whatever they want, or what their association will allow.

And there are places that association has no say either. If I work 6th and 7th grade games in many places, the only people that would have a say is the assignor (if they even care) what the officials wear. Most of the time the only requirement is a warm body to work the game.
