I think finding a meaningful way recognise a significant contributor in a way that doesn’t really impact anyone is something to be encouraged. I imagine that most people would use the hex code anyway and only devs/designers would see the name in their tooling.

I can’t see how to apply logic to naming a colour. It’s fundamentally a perceptual and, dare I say it, emotional process.

I also think your comment is uncharitable and tone deaf.
