Paintbrush colours based on real-life animals (and plants)

Some paintbrush colours for specific Neopets resemble existing real-life animals - such as the rainbow Lenny, which appears to be based on a scarlet macaw:

Curious to know, what are some real-life inspired colours that y'all find interesting and/or notable (not well-known, particularly unique, etc)?
For me, it'd be the Maraquan Chia, which is based on a 'sea apple' (pseudocolochirus violaceus):

How about the adorable Christmas Pteri, which seems to be based on the European Robin, Erithacus rubecula

That one's cute! Some of the simple ones are the cutest, imo.

I've always liked the spotted Tuskaninny (grey seal) and Lupe (African wild dog).
