"Purple" or "Blue"

[BryanV21]

We are told to call the team's actual color. Meaning we don't say "red" if their color is maroon, nor do we say "blue" if their color is actually purple.

I don't know why we were told that, but I don't see the problem in calling a team by their actual color anyway. Heck, the other team is "white", so it's not like the scorekeeper is going to get them confused.
