Conveniently, while Monty said names must be, reference, or sound like colors (which basically means a color name misspelled), he didn't specify it should relate the character's color motif. This is why Russel's name means red but his color is green.

Cardin Winchester: Cardinal red (there is another species of bird mistakenly referred to as cardinal which is yellow). The most common color for a Winchester rifle is rusty brown and silver or gunmetal gray.

Monty is a dork for saying Ozpin doesn't match the naming rules. Ozpin, Oz, Emerald City, Green. Ozpin, Wizard, Giant GREEN Head.

JNPR - Juniper is a plant that yellows with the passing of seasons.
