just a note about the naming rule to people who wanna join! it doesnt have to be a literal colour name. it has to evoke the thought of a colour, be a colour or mean a colour, like scythe said. often one name is colour related and the other alludes to a fairytale/legend/mythological figure that the character alludes too. these are some less obvious canon examples: "cinder fall (cinderella, fall/autumn. her first name also evokes the idea of ashes and things burning, which brings to mind the colours red and black.)"

peter port (peter is from peter and the wolf and it also derives from the greek word for stone. port is a wine which is red coloured)

neptune vasilias (neptune refers to the god of the same name and the blue planet. vasilias comes from a greek word meaning king.)

sun wukong (sun refers to the sun, which is yellow in colour. wukong is from the story journey to the west.) "bartholomew oobleck (his name alludes to the story bartholomew and the oobleck. oobleck evokes the image of the green substance from said story)." id definitely be up for helping people come up with names, if they needed that help!
