Gah, it'd be a lot easier if I didn't already have specific colors in mind for each character. The only team name that works has the two hardest letters to work with in terms of existing gemstones, let alone for the palette I want.

I wanted to avoid diamond because it is typically seen as the most valuable or "king" of gemstones, but I probably won't have a choice... the few others options (which come to about 4-5 in total) are either way too obscure or don't fit at all.

It's times like this that I curse the rule I like to call Creation Bias. A character in the show is already named Ruby (the main character no less), so from that moment onward the name 'Ruby' or any use of rubies for a color name is practically forbidden, even if the usage or inspiration is completely different. Even not counting rubies, pretty much every single gemstone under 'R' is red, or is somehow related to rubies.

Google translate COULD work, but I'm already using that as a workaround for another character on the team, and I'd rather keep that to a minimum if at all possible.
