Only reason it's not is that there were old rules regarding Orange and White due to complaints, mainly from refs and the press box regarding visibility. I'm sure the upper decks also had issue. At one point in time, UT had to outline it's orange numbers (on white jersey's) with black by rule because the numbers were too hard to make out.

IIRC, one of the big reasons there's a green space between the checkerboard endzones is due to those visibility issues. It doesn't help that a good portion of the male population is orange-green color blind.

It's not a rule today but it was for a long time.
