That's pretty much what I'm saying, go for "Gold" or a name that has some relation to the color if you want that reference. Gold doesn't necessarily come to mind when hearing "Gerold" to me; at least not right away. I only figured it out because you noted it at the top of the page. With or without that bit of trivia, someone would have looked up the name's meaning, just as I did, to check the relation and find the meanings do not match up. It's not following the CNR because it's not a color, doesn't mean a color, doesn't sound like a color, nor could one think of a color from the name. There's simply no connection.

Also the naming rule applies to everyone, except for Ozpin of course, so besides him all characters in canon have allusions to color. "Qrow"="Crow" as in the black bird, Jaune is French for yellow, and Nora comes from Eleanor/Eleanora which means light (or you could go even further with evidence when it comes to the Nora flower that's pink).
