Finishes named after/by/for people?

[Going Modal]

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I was recently reflecting upon all the cool color names that Paul & Co. have attributed--for better or worse--to certain individuals at or related to the company. Off the top of my head, we've got:

Angry Larry
Blue Matteo
Bonni Pink
Boyd Burst
McCarty Burst
Trampas Green

...So, what others am I missing--and what are y'alls favorites? I'd have a hard time deciding between Larry, Matteo, and/or Trampas for my faves.

I would imagine "Carroll Blue" is named after someone in the organization or related to in some way! Also, Santana Yellow!!
In McCarty there is the McCarty Sunburst and the McCarty Tobacco Sunburst ;~))

In Private Stock we have Faded McCarty Burst as a current option on the website along with Sage Dragon's Breath which could be named after someone but I am unsure!

I think White Doghair was named after me, our black and white corgimonster is a pro shedder.

Santana Yellow?

I've asked PRS to do a custom color for me called Laszlo's Camel's Breath.

Kind of a brown on brown in brown thing, that gets even browner toward the center of the guitar.

It'd be a knockout, right?

PRS said no.
