It's an awful, horrible word, and the colour is just plain wrong.
I think you should rename the role back to Server Administrator and change the colour back to its old green.
I personally see your point and share it to some degree. The reason why the name was changed from admin to game master was to distinguish old from new. The color was made the same as the devs to show that the server team is more unified where before, admins and (head) devs had a somewhat antagonistic relationship. To me, changing it back to the old would be more of an aesthetic change, though, and I am not too keen on these. Something that is not broken does not need fixing. However, if there honestly is a desire to have the game masters renamed and recoloured, I think that it would be an easy change. It would need to be shared by a not merely marginal group of players at least, however.
