--- Comment #15 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
The beauty of the existing naming is that the 0-1-2-3-4 names in Green, Blue,
Orange, Purple, and Yellow are language "neutral"--and hence friendly both to
users and to translators.

So I don't think so, but if this were going to be changed...

Looking at Christoph Noack's "United colors of liberty" blog
(http://luxate.blogspot.com/2010/10/united-colors-of-liberty.html) the Green 1
#18a303--a.k.a. LibreGreen--was the anchor color and the derivatives were done
with Agave. Yellow was added later and Maroon was renamed to Orange. 

Possibly we could locate Christoph's notes on which Agave colorscheme(s) he
used with the #18a303 to determine which levels he picked for each--and use
those levels in the name?

Although would seem the Agave generated "LibreBlue", "LibreOrange",
"LibrePurple", and "LibreYellow" were intended to be specific "primary" colors
for the brand--anchored to the "LibreGreen" sRGB of #18a303.

Unfortunately those names are not as "neutral", but then it is a "branding" SOC
:)

If intent remains to not translate the names in this branding SOC, maybe go
with a - and + notation for color intensity.
