Colour names

[diddlediddle]

So names like Grey, Indigo, Blue, Violet, Silver etc are quite popular.

What about Pink, Yellow, and Green?

Are there any untapped colour names?

My Grandad's middle name was Silver. I was really when I found out as it was so unusual. I absolutely loved it as it was so unusual. It seemed more special as a sort strange secret middle name for some reason to me. His Christian name was completely normal and common for his era.

Cerulean
Azure
Cobalt
Cyclamen

There are lists on wiki if you need inspiration.

I know a Sapphire, a Coral and an Amethyst (goes by Amy).

I've always liked Blanche, and I know a Grey and a Ruby.

I know a little girl aged 5 named Emerald .

I used to know a Gray. He was about 60 about 20 years ago.

Maybe look at colours in different languages? Blanche and Blanca... umm Noir, Azul, Amarillo, do any of those work? Probably not but maybe there are other ones.

Surely “Magnolia” is a flower, and the paint colour takes its name from that?

I used to know sisters called Ruby, Sienna and Scarlet.
