I wish more people felt like you, Frillylilly! My most wanted oranges from Judy Davisson seem hopelessly sold out. People can't seem to stop buying the orange ones I'm looking for.
On the color names, it seems to me that the idea isn't to come up with a catchy color name, but to describe the color of the daylily bloom as clearly and as accurately as you can. If you sell daylilies, or anything really, you want return customers. I suspect it's easier to keep customers coming back if they feel like they got exactly what they were expecting, than if you have amazing color names but they make a lot of your buyers feel misled or disappointed when they finally see the blooms in their garden. At least that's how I see it, for what that's worth.
