Tips for color-based naming

  • Consider the exact shade. “Mahogany” is more evocative than “brown.”
  • Use the specific tone. Light and dark versions of a color suggest different names.
  • Foreign color words add sophistication — Noir, Bianco, Rojo.
  • Ironic names work too. A white horse named Shadow is memorable.
  • Layer meaning over color. Obsidian is both black and volcanic — double the depth.
