@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. Garen is german, meaning Guardian. Guardian comes from the old french word Gareden, modified with the -ian suffix.
