Why do some people have surnames of colours - White, Black or Brown

But not blue, red, yellow, pink, purple or indigo? Or do you know someone with that name?

That's what they are today. But I wonder if way back, 2, maybe 300 years ago those were just part of their original name.
Names back then often reflected what you did for a living.
John the brown bear hunter.
Lucy the green apple picker.
Michael the black coal miner
Sarah the white swan keeper
Stuff like that.
