eimerkette
ketteneimer
eimermette
hättekeiner
eidadaus


i know it doesn't fullfill the criteria, but...hey: a little bit of dada!

edit:
just a short translation (attempt of) for those not speaking german:

eimerkette is the german word for bucket brigade, actually it would rather translate "a chain of buckets"

ketteneimer is the words flipped -> a bucket made of chains

eimermette doesn't mean anything ("eimer" is bucket, "mette" a female name or a church service)

hätte keiner - wouldn't have anybody

eidadaus - a word of high surprise
(actually used in the german translation of a well known american comic family, aka the ducks)

1. Chromium
2. Cobalt
3. Cadmium
4. Carbon
5. Cerium

All are chemical elements, beginning with C, that are used as colour pigments. Here's some info from Wikipedia:

The name chromium derives from the Greek word for color, because many chromium compounds are intensely colored. Chromium was discovered in 1761 and was initially used as a pigment.

Before the 19th century, cobalt was predominantly used as a pigment. Cobalt-based blue pigments (cobalt blue) have been used since ancient times for jewelry and paints, and to impart a distinctive blue tint to glass.

Cadmium compounds are used as red, orange and yellow pigments. To painters who work with the pigment, cadmium provides the most brilliant and durable yellows, oranges, and reds — so much so that during production, these colors are significantly toned down.

Carbon black is used as the black pigment in printing ink, artist's oil paint and water colours, carbon paper, automotive finishes, India ink and laser printer toner.

Cerium sulfide forms a red pigment that stays stable up to 350 °C. The photostability of pigments can be enhanced by the addition of cerium. It provides pigments with light fastness and prevents clear polymers from darkening in sunlight.

I tried to "match" the colors to the kind of coloration I've heard (if that can make any sense). I'm not sure if the first name can give you copyright issues In that case, change it to cyan.
