Direct quote:  As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself. Color. Blah blah blah... It was a trend that has continued to this very day.

Nowhere in there does it say that they HAVE to name their children after color. Also, you ignored the names I gave (particularly Pyrrha, Yang, Nora, and Ren) and how they involve color. ... How does that quote say that color naming tradtions aren't a part of the culture in Remnant. He flat out said that color naming IS a tradition in Remnant that continues to this very day, meaning it's an active part of the culture.

And yes, all characters are supposed to be named after colors: Monty said so himself.

As for your other question: Blake is old English for Black, Yang is a chinese figure that is heavily associated with light, fire, the sun, etc., Pyrrha comes from the Greek word Pyrrhus, meaning "red-haired", Nora is supposed to be a reference to the Nora Barlow Columbine (an orange flower), Ren is Japanese for "lotus" (which are usually pink), Adam is believed to mean "to be red" in Hebrew, Glynda is supposed to mean "fair-skinned" or "white-skinned", and Ozpin isn't supposed to be associated with a color, as shown in the naming guide. I know that some of the names aren't very good refrences to color, but they are still supposed to be refrencing a color, by Monty's own words.

If you don't believe me, all of that should be in their character pages.
