If you want to get really techincal, they are not named after colors but other things that have color representations.

Cincinatti Reds used to be the Red Stockings.
St. Loius Blues are named after a genre of music.
Cleveland Browns are named after Paul Brown, their first VP, GM, and head coach.

Golden State Warriors and Green Bay Packers also contain colors. However, they are rather named after a place containing a color in its name than the color itself.

The Arizona Cardinals were named for the perceived colour of their uniforms during their earliest era in Chicago.

In 1901, O'Brien bought used maroon uniforms from the University of Chicago, the colors of which had by then faded, leading O'Brien to exclaim, "That's not maroon; it's cardinal red!" It was then that the team changed its name to the "Racine Street Cardinals"
