Oh don't worry I agree completely about there really being only three canon colors! The black and violet colors personally also see wrong to me. Starfleet Intelligence officers in my view should wear red (yes Pressman was an admiral but I think also given the precedent of Strategic Operations wearing red, it's a suitable color). Black has never been seen and I believe is more a fan conflation of Section 31 with Starfleet Intelligence, which really shouldn't be as sneaky and adversarial to other officers as I've often seen them simmed. Likewise, I feel diplomatic officers should wear either red or perhaps gold given we saw a gold wearing Ensign assisting Picard with the diplomatic function in Insurrection (although she very well could have been serving as a modern day yeoman, so gold makes sense).

Anyway this bothered me for a while (along with the letter suffixes to ship names) for a while but now I guess I can see how it makes identifying an officer's post a little easier and people seem to enjoy getting their own special color.
