Oh! Something interesting from the Light Novels.
Whenever Cyan Pile's color is given more detail than "blue", it is always described as indigo-blue. I think the author may have goofed when picking an English color-word, and very much intended to place Pile between Blue and Purple, rather than slightly Green.
But he must have figured it out later, which is why the official color wheel, appearing in one of the much-later novels, places Cyan where it ought to be, even though Pile is supposed to tend towards Purple.
All in all, it reminds me of how Kinoko Nasu intended for Arc and Ciel's names to be a reference to "Arc'en'Ciel", the French phrase for "rainbow" and the name of a popular band.
Nasu meant for Ciel's name to be French for "Bow", since she is French and her codename is Bow. Allegedly, he was distraught to learn that she was instead named "Sky".
Takumu and Cyan Pile himself bear no small resemblence to Ciel. Blue-eyed, blue-garbed, glasses-wearing characters armed with pile-drivers and smaller projectile blades.
