If I was to answer specifically who as a speculation I would say it relates to the fact that we had many cultures all over the world creating similar structures that today we cannot fathom the scale of construction necessary with the tools available which were also cultures that had no contact with each other supposedly.
Most of these cultures say they were taught by “star people” or spoke with “the stars” including cultivation, sciences, written and spoken language which are some of the base languages today’s names for colours are derived from.
So I would say the teachers were the ones who named the early base colours being very similar across all languages.
