There is no ship  called  Octavia (In Remnant), as far as we know, and there's no reason to think there is, so in-universe people shouldn't connect it with a color that way. Touché, following that reasoning it does fail......unless it just needs to fit CNR out-of-universe, not necesarily in-universe. Because if it does, then that brings some questions about Remnant (like "does the Nora Barlow Columbine exist in Remnant? And why is it called after Nora Barlow then?". "Columbine" is general enough, but "Nora Barlow Columbine" is pretty specific).

There's also Neptune, named after both the planet and the Roman God of the Sea....the planet does not exist in Remnant's system unless Remnant=Earth, and Roman Mythology does not exist so there should be no god to allude to, and yet he fits apparently.

(Sure, you said once that it may be derived from "moist" and such, but in truth, no one really knows for sure the etymology of Neptune's name, and from what words is it derived from. There are multiple proposals here and there, but overall, it is unclear and disputed).
