My first language has over 100 color terms, and growing.  I have a separate
noun form for colors, so I take the noun "tree" and put it into color form
meaning "tree-colored".  But aside from noun colors and normal colors, I
decided to go ahead and include all the old color terms found in the
languages of (usually) people of unindustrialized countries.  Like, a term
for any color from black to blue to green (like the color of the ocean), a
color for green and yellow and brown (like the color of a forest) or the
color for blue purple red and orange (like the color of a sunset).  Ah,
color...  I love it.
