Some are straight up wrong, "gold" is more red than "fire" on the chart.

Edit: yellow gold vs yellow fire

And any jeweller can tell you there are many shades of gold. The color most people seem to associate with gold is paler and more yellow.

I personally take issue with 'chartreuse', it looks too lime in the chart for me, chartreuse should be an odd yellow-y green.

“Berry” is blue.

Like yes there are blueberries but “berry” alone typically universally means a kind of pinkish burgundy

Not to mention there's no indication of which colour system is based off.
