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 think the cowplant is more of a print than a colour, and I already have that one filed away for future reference. Cowplants are very iconic.

I think Grimmie would beat out Bonehilda for the black namesake, since she didn't make it into the Sims 2 (officially). I'm also considering "Mortimer" for black to go with "Bella" for red.

"Goth" black maybe? I guess I think of Grim as grayish because of TS2, though the other games have him in jet black.

The elixir of life and Servo tummy orbs are also bright green, but I think they're supposed to match the plumbbobs. A symbol of life I guess.

I'm interested to see what you're up to. :)

Goth would work well, but I think I still prefer Mortimer. I can see what you're saying about Grim, but I still think he's meant to be black. It's seems like a faded, ghostly black to me.

I think you're right about both of those things referencing the plumbbob colour for that exact reason. The Servo power source looks exactly like a plumbbob, doesn't it?

I'm hoping you'll be able to see some results pretty soon. Did you see the hint on Tumblr?
