The fact that only the last name has a color connotation, and a second-hand one at that, normally would strike me as odd, but it's understandable seeing as "Jack" and its numerous variants aren't exactly color names. Jacques isn't among them however. Anyone who bothers to do a quick Google search can see that Jacques is related to the name Jacob, and thus also to James. Jack is related to the name John.
