Simlish Colours - Help Wanted

I'm trying to come up with a list of colours that are iconic to The Sims 2. I'd like to try to get at least one for every colour of the rainbow and build from there. Here's what I have so far:

Red: Bella's dress
Pink: freezer bunny
Purple: woohoo hearts (though looking for something more child-friendly, if you have any ideas. It's the sort of euphemism you'd use around a baby/toddler/child, but I dunno...)
Blue: aspiration icons
Green: plumbbobs (bright) and alien skintone (mint)
Yellow: chemistry bolts
Orange: ???
White: ???
Black: Grimmie's robe
Brown: ???
Gray: Gray Woman of Sim City

White, Green, Gold, and Red can also relate to the aspiration levels for the plumbbob, so that's another option.

If you have any ideas for the ones I'm missing or any additional ideas for any of the colours, I'd love to hear them.

I was going to suggest Grilled Cheese for either orange or brown! :D

White could either be Platinum Plumbob, or maybe a condo from Pleasantview - they're quite iconic.

Also, for grey you could also do the Bella statue from Belladonna Cove (hey, that could work for white too! A closeup of her Plumbob!)

"A closeup of her Plumbob" was not meant to sound rude, but it's the only way I can read it now O.o

Yeah... that doesn't sound naughty. Tsk tsk. :P

I can't believe I missed Grilled Cheese. That one is a must.

I think "Permaplat" has a nice ring to it, and that's slang simmers use for when sims reach their LTW. Those condos are certainly iconic, but I don't know if they work as well for a name.

Belladonna is a nice name to use in some form. I think once I use the one name for each colour I might branch out to some others.

I'm curious as to what you're planning now, ST! :D

Did the preview on Tumblr tip you off any?

I have ideas, but I won't share them in case I'm very wrong :P Hehe

Haha. Fair enough. With any luck, you won't have to wait too long.
