Sometimes, when I remember, if it's not obviously a 'standard' color I'll ask a captain pre-game what their official school colors are. If they say 'scarlet' I have no problem saying scarlet rather than red. Now if they 'chartreuse', well I'm probably saying green (yes, I had to google chartreuse). But if it's maroon or scarlet or something relatively easy to say, no problem to me.

Same except we say Buttercup instead of Gold for Yellow! |
Hunter Safety gone to another level
What (color) was Notre Dame called (clean thoughts here) when wearing those jerseys the other night?

Honestly, I wouldn't care what the prevailing local philosophy was on this is, I'd follow it. It's not something worth standing out.

Purple I'll say ... I draw the line at fuchsia and mauve.

Anyway, I go with "Gold" instead of "Yellow." One syllable is fine, provided there is some accuracy. Scarlet? Maroon? Nuh-uh, "RED." I don't understand any hang-ups with "brown" or "pink," though no-one around here wears those colors. The one that throws me off is that deeply dark navy blue. Can't tell whether that's blue or black sometimes. |
We have two local high schools here in the area who pooled resources and bought pink uniforms for their girls programs. Each year they play a game that is used as a fundraiser for cancer research...get big donations from local companies, pack out the gym, have cancer survivors honored at halftime, etc.
The uniforms they bought are dark pink (?) and really light pink. The home team wears the light color, and visitors wear the dark. They alternate home and away each year. Have worked that game the last two years, and we call them "light" and "dark". First time a ball got knocked oob, I hit whistle and called "Pink" and both girls headed over to inbound the ball...so light and dark seem to work well. |
