A propos of nothing, I recently realised that while French has three female names that are also colours ("Blanche", "Rose" and "Violette" -- "White", "Pink" and "Purple") it has no male or unisex ones. Also that I can't think of any colour names in English.

One of the Webtoons I'm reading (translated from Korean) has a woman called "Hayan" ("하얀" -- "White"), but I honestly don't know enough Korean as you can tell from me reading it in English to know if that's a regular name or a Special Protagonist Name. The webtoon is Unholy Blood btw. It's about vampires. Read it, it's fun.

So: does your language(s) have colour names? For which gender(s)?
