My preferred mapping matches this one, but for a thoroughly bizarre  
reason.  In the Klingon translation for the Homeworlds rules that I  
wrote some years ago, I came up with this:

   Green -> SuD (yellow/green/blue, green as "default")
   Red -> Doq (red/orange, red as "default")
   Blue -> Hurgh (dark)
   Yellow -> wov (light)

Assigning the Klingon terms back to Xeno colors:

   SuD (yellow/blue/green) -> Cyan
   Doq (red/orange) -> Orange
   Hurgh (dark) -> Purple
   wov (light) -> Clear

So I'm perfectly happy with the correspondence Andy likes.
