Well, something popped into my head as I was enjoying the scrimmage yesterday. And, it should have ocurred to me a long time ago. Some colors just tend to be funky through film and video. Two colors that tend to be extremely difficult are maroon and purple.
If you think back, most everyone who had spent time viewing the field in person said the colors matched. Most everyone that whined about it (like me) had done so based on pictures.
Back in the stone age, I attended a maroon/gold high school and my wife had attended a purple/gold high school. There are old pictures of her in cheerleading outfits where the sweaters and skirts looked like two completely different shades of purple. Yet in person, they matched just fine. Same with my experience with maroon.
In person, I thought the end zones and center "M" looked fine, and certainly along the lines of the maroon seatback chairs. Yet, I will maintain that on pictures they look like a mis-match.
To make a long story short... I think everything is okay and the "difference" is just due to texture, film, surface, and the reality of maroon.
