It may not be a factor in this case, but television has sometimes had an effect on school colors because some of the traditional shades didn't show up well or provide adequate contrast on TV. Carolina blue, for example, is noticeably darker than it often was 50+ years ago for that reason. And some colors just don't "translate" well on TV. Perhaps that was the case with the "mustard yellow."
