It just means give them different names abiding by the color rules. It is the RWBY universes unique thing besides the characters being based off of tales and legends.

But out of curiosity...why should you feel like there is less meaning in your work because of the name scheme? Well, you see, a lot of the names for me and my group's project came about before this whole fiasco started. We created those names based only on the characters themselves. Colour references came about as sheer coincidence. And most of the characters don't conform to any specific pallet. Thus, no colour-inspired names ever really fit them, because we designed them in mind for what they were. Colour just wasn't a part of that/
