Color names for babies have been around for a while, with Amber, Violet, and Rose the longest-standing members of the genre. Today, though, there are a rainbow of color names for both girls and boys, many of them <a href="https://nameberry.com/unisex-names">gender-neutral names</a>.

Color names for babies range from the obvious -- Blue and Scarlett -- to the most exotic, from Azure to Zinc. The top color names for babies are mostly for girls, with Ruby, Scarlett, Hazel, and Violet all popular in the US. 

Unique color names for babies that strike the right tone include Amethyst, Blue, Clover, Gray, Indigo, Lavender, Lilac and Steel. Color names, especially relating to something meaningful to you such as red (hair) or a favorite hue, also work great in the middle.
