Well, as pronunciation tweaks seem to be allowed, as neither 'Weiss' nor 'Yang' follow standard conventions for their language of origin, I was considering that my OC's name could be enunciated in a manner more similar to 'mauve'.

And even if that doesn't work, there's also the following bit of characterization. As she is a wolf faunus, her surname alludes to the Manitoba Wolf. This is a grey/white pelted canine that may be analogous to the Hudson Bay Wolf.

So her color scheme is effectively purple/grey or grey/white depending whether my initial rationale is a bit of a stretch.
