His name is likely derived of the Spanish given name "Tucson" which means "black base".

That's from Tukson's page. His name does have a colour in it. They changed the spelling because Gray pointed out that the c is silent or something in the proper name.Ne

Neon itself is actually reddish-orange according to research Phantom did, and they change the colour through acience (I can't remember the exact way).

But Nolan itself has no colour meaning, as it means noble or famous. So they have set precidence in the show of characters without colour first names, but they are very much the minority. Even the people with colour last names tend to give their kids colour names (Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna to name the most obvious).

That being said, I personally prefer to give my characters colour first names because I feel that follows the nature of the CNR more closely. And there are so many, that really you don't need to worry about double ups that much. An anon actually came on the wiki and shared the table they are making of colour names alphabetically and grouped by colour, and there's over 450 names on the list. It's also nowhere near finished. I've been contributing the lists of names and google translations I have found as well, as I think it's a good idea.
