Shinny / Pickup Colour Discussion

For those of us with lots of colour options to wear I just want to get a consensus from the group on where each one fits
Basically I’m looking to justify my outrageous colour setups and playing on the appropriate team.
Usually the white team is always white, anything else plays on the colours team but there are some exceptions
Yellow - probably on the white team but can vary
Baby blue - dark team
Green - dark team
Grey - don’t do it unless it’s really dark or really light
Red - biggest area of contention in my opinion. Some guys are adamant that red should play on the white team. I think red is a strong enough colour that it should be on the dark team.
Royal/Navy Blue - there are some lunatics who think blue should be on the white team
What do you guys think? Am I insane that I put this much thought into it?

White is white. Black is dark. Everything else goes either way to balance teams. Red can be either white or dark. Don't wear yellow or grey or orange ever. Green/Baby blue can be either white or dark similar to red, but I still wouldn't wear them.
Totally forgot about orange. The pylon chirps are built in with those

The only colours that aren’t acceptable are grey and beige in my opinion. There’s always some clown who wears one of those colours on the dark team and someone always ends up passing it to them. When I’m on the dark team I do like to wear a bright orange or green sometimes for exact opposite reason, you stand out and people on your own team generally will look to feed it to you lol

white is white. everything else is dark generally, red is dark, pretty simple, if you can't decipher red on dark then god help you, you're either colorblind or need to watch more episodes of sesame street to get your colors down. DO NOT wear yellow or light grey. you are a plug if you wear either, i can see peoples issues with yellow and light grey is a shit show if you put them on white, plus guys who look up for a white jersey and see light gray are hesitant.

For some strange reason over here it is Red vs White, Black being assigned so the numbers even out.
What however really grinds my gears is jerseys with mixed colors, meaning e.g. a Black jersey with white shoulders/arms, a Red-White jersey with a diagonal split through the middle (looks Red or White depending on the side), etc.
My personal recommendation to new starters over here: get yourself a solid Red and a White (or at least one that when turned inside-out is almost white).

Agreed...never seen a pickup where red was "light"...maybe once or twice in the past where there was just an abundance of players wearing black and a couple of guys wearing red were put on white to balance things out, but generally it's just a given they are dark.
I think it's pretty simply, avoid the colors that are in between to avoid confusion...beige, gray, yellow. I will admit that I once wore a yellow jersey to drop-in, knowing full well I would get flamed for it. But it was my Nike Swift Team Deutschland practice jersey that I had just got and I didn't care :-) It was with a group I skate with all the time, so the chirping was in good fun. Plus everyone on dark was wearing black that day so it was easy to tell I was light. I save that jersey for stick time now...
