This cropped up recently in either comp.os.vms or comp.sys.dec
so a deja search should find it.
The orange colour of the OpenVMS V4 doc set was officially
called Chinese Red.
The grey colour of the OpenVMS V5 doc set was officially
called Champagne Beige.
I don't recall ever seeing names for the preceding dark
blue or light blue colours.
