Violet, Olive, and Rose are the only ones I really like, but I think of them as botanical names rather than color names. Well, and I like Xanthe too, but I don't think of that as a color name either, despite knowing its meaning - because I don't use the word xanthe. I also like Emerald and Ivory (as gem names not color names). Somehow, a color by itself isn't enough to inspire a name, for me.
