A named color is just a term for an arbitrary range of light frequencies, and different cultures differentiate between different ranges. Especially when you get into more specific named colors like “indigo” or “chartreuse”. In fact “indigo” made its way into English from Portuguese and “chartreuse” from French.
I don’t speak Japanese, but these could very well be “Japanese colours”.

I’m referring to this meme, which makes fun of japanophiles.
