Names of the Rainbow 🌈
What are the best and brightest color names today?
Color names are sprinkled all throughout the charts, from vintage chic names like Scarlett, Olive, and Jasper to modern favorites Sage, Indigo, and Navy.
If you move beyond the popular names in the US, there are an array of word names that fit into this “Crayola Crew” — often doubling up as nature names or gemstone names, from Saffron to Amethyst.
We want to know what the hottest color name is for each stripe of the rainbow, and what better way to predict naming trends than to ask our forever ahead-of-the-curve Berries themselves?
