Yeah it's definitely possible that my guides are simply using my frame of reference on colors to send me info. I probably wouldn't get hung up on colors. For example I've always been taught the crown chakra is white, while others say it's violet. But if the throat chakra is blue and the third eye chakra is indigo and the crown is violet it's harder to discern them.
John Edward in his psychic development CD program also thinks the crown chakra is white. So we're 2 for 2
