Remnant doesn't speak English, they speak Remnantian, a language where a lot of words are synonimous with colors.

It's "translated" into English from an audience perspective.

It's a cop-out answer. But so is thinking too much on why color names are a thing in Remnant even if it didn't develop the same culture as Earth. This isn't the answer, it's the question. Bespectacled is asking 'If Remnant has it's own language, how do we know that the names of these characters really relate to colors.'

To answer that question: English has basicly barrowed words from other languages to make itself and German is similar to English, or so I've heard. They can be speaking their language and have a few words mean the same thing they do in English.
