I go off what the people would know. If a child has grown up in a world where everyone would have a colour name, and has to give themselves an alias for some reason, they'd pick a colour name so as not to stand out (unless the goal of the alias IS to stand out). If it is an older person, who was a child before the CNR came into effect, then they would perhaps choose a name that isn't related to a colur.

Though not many of those people would be around, as even the oldest generation we've seen (Port, Goodwitch, Ironwood) follow the CNR. Ozpin is the only one because...reasons.

So, it's a context thing in my mind. Someone who doesn't want to stand out for having a 'weird' name would use the CNR, and someone who does wouldn't.
