So you chose a name that was actually a word in another language (tl;dr: pinkeln = peeing in german), and it was embarrassing when you found out. But then you say, "Did it hurt us in the end? I don’t think so." And this is evidence that Color made a good choice to go after a name like theirs.

Color paid half a million dollars for domain recognizability... and this is beneficial because they didn't accidentally choose a name that means peeing.

I don't think your evidence actually argues for your point. What about all the names that aren't a common word in your target language, but don't mean peeing in others, either?
