Except, there is no real stretch with Ozpin as the Wizard of Oz is regularly depicted as green and lives in the Emerald City. No matter how you look at it Ozpin's name clearly associates him with the color green and he wears green so the connection is not unreasonable, so the claim that Ozpin's name is not tied to a color seems to be an odd statement to me.

The thing is, it's subjective. It's like if someone made a character based on an obscure tale/myth and follows the naming rule, yet people who see it do not see how it follows the rules without detailed explanation.

In my opinion, the name has to be associated with a colour without need for a detailed explanation.

Now that you mention it, what is Ozpin's first name (It could be something relating to the colour)?
