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?

Swedish has "Grön" as a surname, at least. "Röd" makes me think of Viking names. It's not really used any longer as far as I know. "Svart" (black) seems to be another archaic name no longer used.

Can't really think of any others, though.
