Actually, there are people in show with colur last names and non-colour fist names. James Ironwood, as James comes from Jacob with means 'Supplanter'. Lisa Lavender, as Lisa comes from Elizabeth with means Oath fo God. And now Octavia Ember, which is RT approved despite being fan-made, as Octavia means eighth born, and octave is a set of eight notes in music.

So it can apply to either name, as long as one of them is a colour, or the name itself sounds like a colour; ie Nadir Shiko, Cyril Ian.
