So Monty's claim that Ozpin didn't follow the naming rules was a deliberate hint at the fact that he's "older than color-naming". Truthfully, despite Monty's claim, he does follow the naming rule, but it's simply not the intent with his character. The most important thing about learning why Ozpin "doesn't follow the naming rule" is that people had long speculated that Ozpin wasn't his real name.
