I used to work in the auto industry and from time to time invented the names.
for powder coat, the various suppliers cluster pretty well around a RAL number.
use that for identifying what you want.
Bianchi is notorious for changing the color and still calling it Celeste. Add to that, old paint often fades. If not changing in hue, changing in value.
I have in the past bought a sister bike in the color I wanted just to have something to match to. Sell it off later.
I am well aware of entertaining names given to automotive colors. My favorite was around 2006-2007, working at an Acura dealership (lot attendant/porter) and wiping down an RL in the showroom. "Lakeshore Silver." I laughed because it was just baby/light blue metallic. But hey, it's a $55,000 car that you need to make people feel good about buying. It had a black interior and polished A-Spec wheels, and it looked great. Very comfortable cars. Lexus had/has similar humorous names. Maybe marketers are all in on the joke and what really presents as too-serious paint color names are just a bunch of people behind the scenes having a ball.
