Soccer doesn't really have that white and darks home/away thing.
What happens is the home team gets first decision on their jersey. So say, Manchester picks red against Liverpool. That means Liverpool can't wear their reds. Liverpool's other colors are green and grey. They can pick either color that is clearly different.
Or, lets say Juventus plays Chelsea at home. Juventus decide they don't want to wear their typical black and whites, they go with their thirds, which is blue. Again, even though Juve isn't wearing their home (primary) jersey, Chelsea can't wear theirs either, and have to go black or yellow.
Most of the time, both teams can wear their primaries.
