I know older officials that won't say "purple" or "orange." I don't see what the big deal is to spit out two syllables. Besides, it shows better respect for the team in question. Otherwise, you're just being lazy, IMO.

Chartreuse ???
One syllable colors in my little corner of Connecticut. Been that way for over thirty years. Rookies are taught this like it was a "rule".

As a rookie in my little corner of Kansas, I can assure that we are taught this as well. Seemed a little odd, but I have many other larger issues to work on.

When I first started out, some of the senior officials did the "red" instead of "orange" and "blue" instead of "purple"..... I always thought it to be weird...... until I started living more and more in "Rome" and started doing it that way. Now, it's just normal for me too.

That's how I was taught also. Guess I'm a lazy, poor official also.

I guess I'm in the minority here... I work with a lot of people who insist on changing the color to go with a one syllable color, but I think it's disrespectful to the team if you call them by the wrong color... Orange, purple and maroon it is for me!

I always hear an official (usually in a lower level game) say purple and the like and immediately think they're probably not trained all that well.
I will say "orange" because it can easily be done as one syllable. Otherwise, it's blue, red, gold, etc. for me.
