This is a chance to plug the excellent visualization of the xkcd color survey that helped quantify how much more detailed women’s color-space tends to be than men’s. There are many, many color names that only women use; the most masculine color name I found was “goblin green”.
In aggregate below, note the many more dots above the his/hers line than below.

RBG color is mostly #000000, at least when she’s dressed for work.

Gonna have to disagree with your assessment on that green. Amstrad Green is a darker shade.

Hmm, I feel like maybe I’ve found a suitably shitty and immature nickname for the President… think maybe I’ll try it out for a while. Had been trying to work in ‘FB’ and ‘666’, but I think I can settle for #ED-9000 Rotary Prevaricator™ until something better comes along.

I see someone has arrived at the obvious one early:

Au contraire! There are many horrible Amstrad greens to choose from!

“Pseudoberry” would make a good flavor name as well - or even a strain of cannabis.
