The local high school's school colors are red and black. The rival's schools are blue and yellow. My friend, who graduated from the rival school 6 years ago, went to the local high school graduation. She took pictures with some graduating friends, and she wore a dress in the exact same tone as the gowns. I'm pretty sure she did it on purpose. Is this a faux pas?The local high school's school colors are red and black. The rival's schools are blue and yellow.

As long as her friends were o.k. with it, it's not a faux pas.

Who cares?

You didn't make it very clear. Same tone as what school colors? It sounds like it doesn't matter.
