@Chish: It's very different trying to say it alludes to a color due to a definitely-fictional character, and trying to say it alludes to a color due to a ship from Real Life. I'm doing the later, the former is outside my standards for what is acceptable. You're saying "This thing was once named something similar to Octavia, therefore is a basis for Octavia following the CNR!" That is hardly better than me saying "This gray character is named Octavia and therefore can be a basis for Octavia following the CNR."

The point is, you're saying "this one thing has that name", and it's not a very good argument.
