Thinking about it, here is a possible reason why it might be 'TRQS' or Turquoise. Turquoise is basically a shade of blue-green. It's possible that this team was the Scarecrow (Qrow), the Cowardly Lion (Taiyang), Dorothy (Summer) and the Tin Woodsman (Yang's mother), the latter being due to her ability to put duty before emotion - "If I only had a heart!" A greenish colour would work well for the main characters from The Wizard of Oz classic movie. After all, they were on a quest to the Emerald City, were they not?

This would set aside Ozpin (the Wizard), Glynda (the Good Witch of the North) and the Black King character as part of an older generation, maybe three members of a team. The 'Black King' of course turning out to be an allusion to Ephebia the Wicked Witch of the West.

Who could the fourth member be? Weiss's father may be the Ice Witch from Return to Oz.
