Aye, 'tis good to adhere to, to keep it believable with canon and the rest of Remnant, but it is entirely possible that a parent might rather name their child after something other than color, no? At least regarding the kingdoms involved in the war, among which Vale is very likely to have been part of, and probably the other 3, no, Color Naming all the way.

Now, an OC born before or during the war, can ignore those rules. Along with an OC from some nomad group that had nothing to do with that war. And of course, OCs from other worlds, which is why the Shitty Self Inserts can ignore those rules too.
