Answer 2

Since I’m not the best name-maker, I searched up on the search engine ‘shades of color’. It’s best to use that as a little reference and select images. There, you will find different shades of different colors depending what you typed on the search bar. Here are a few examples:

Blue

-Azure

-Cobalt

-Spruce

-Indigo

-Aegean

-Lapis

-Cerulean

Pink

-Ruby

-Magenta

-Fuchsia

-Amaranth

-Thulian

-Cerise

Purple

-Mauve

-Violet

-Periwinkle

-Rasin (nickname could be Rai, Rasi, or Rin)

-Sangria

-Lilac

-Lavender

Green

-Chartreuse

-Juniper

-Olive

-Sage

-Basil

Orange

-Merigold

-Apricot

-Marmalade

-Honey

-Amber

-Ginger

-Cider

Red

-Merlot

-Garnet

-Crimson

-Mahogany

Yellow

-Tuscany

-Flaxen

-Ecru

-Sepia

-Laguna

* You can use another language other than English for a color name.

Examples:

(Spanish) Azul-Blue

(Spanish) Rosa-Pink

(French) Rouge-Red

(French) Violette (feminine)-Purple

(French) Violet (masculine)-Purple

(French) Blanche (feminine)-White

(French) Blanc (masculine)-White

* You can add letters to the color names and change them around, too.

Examples:

Lime->Lima. Blue->Bleu. Violette->Violetta.

* You can use two color names at a time or only one. It is also up to you, if you want to use nicknames or not. Example with Rasin.

* I hope this helped you! Credits and thanks to Google Images! Have fun choosing/deciding a name for each of your characters. If you don’t mind me asking, where will you post this story, so I can read it (that’s only if you want other people to read it). I understand if it’s personal. Anyways, Take Care! :)

*Update: Excuse my American English usage of color. “Colour” “Colo(u)r” I am not a native British person.

Answer 3

Answer 4

I have a friend that goes by Bleu Because her name is Azul but that may be to on the nose for many

Answer 5

Perhaps now is the time to break the news to you that "different" and "unique" are NOT synonyms.

I find it a bit worrying too that someone writing a book is unable to think of  words for colours. It doesn't say much for your powers of imagination.

Answer 6

Sapphire,  Topaz,  Magenta,  Tawny,  Rosy,  Jasmine,  Amber,  Crimson,  Sable,  Violet,  Cerise,  Aqua,  Poppy,  Fern. 

Answer 7

Bianca, Blanca, Viridiana, Bruno, Jasper,

Answer 8

Your best source of information is Roget's "Thesaurus".  Use your main colour groups such as blue, green.  As an example here are some words from the blue group of colours: azure, sapphire, aquamarine

Answer 9

As the evening sky faded from a salmon colour to a sort of flint grey, I thought back to the salmon I had caught that morning, and how grey he was, and how I'd named him "Flint." 

Answer 10

Ivory, Blanche, Crimson (I know a girl with this name), Ash, Violet, Sierra, Cerise (a red), 

Grey, Amber, Forest, Hunter, Olive, Slate, Ginger...that’s it. I tap out from there.
