colorful surnames

[rone]

In English, we have Black, White, Brown, and Green.  There are many people in Asia and of Asian descent with the surname Tan, but that's just a coincidence.  Vermeil is a bright shade of red in French, Purpura refers to a dye from a mollusc.  What other surnames am i missing?

This reminds me of a book I just read. It's called "Hop on Pop."

"Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown. Mr. Brown is upside down. Pup up. Brown down. Pup is down, where is Brown? Mr. Brown is out of town. Back, Black. Brown came back. Brown came back with Mr. Black."

It's a really good book.
