There’s lots of names that conjure up colors for me but Claudia isn’t one of them, funnily enough! I’d pick gold though. I really like Claudia.

---

If anything, I just think of someone classy, wealthy and intelligent who probably wears fancy pea coats and drinks tea. And has curly hair, but I think that’s because of the initial “cl” sound in the name.

Navy blue.
Straight dark brown hair.
I like the name a lot. Daughter's middle name.
Claude is awkward for me to say. Clod? Not a favorite.
But it reminds me of my grandfather, whose first name it was. So, a softspoken, witty, wise old man. Who was tough, salty, and dapper in his younger years, and went by CJ.

It’s royal blue and yellow. A bit sassy.
Claudia was my first favourite name as a kid! I still have a fondness for it.

I adore Claude for both boys and girls. It’s soft without being prissy. And stoic.

blue, gray, burgundy, roses, tarnished mirrors, candlesticks, long dresses, curly hair, old books, dark nail polish, cello music

Picturing a somewhat isolated, dramatic, quick-witted person. Brutally honest, sarcastic, scary to strangers but very trustworthy to a small number of close friends/relatives. Has a lot of pet cats or snakes.
Overall Claudia gives me some Alice-in-Wonderland vibes but also some spooky gothy vibes.

Claude doesn't give me as much imagery. It's dangerously close to "hello I am a generic French character and my entire personality is cartoonish stereotypes about France".

With the pronunciation "CLAW-dya" it is a rosy pink color. With the pronunciation "CLOW-dya" it is a golden color. I love the name with the second pronunciation.

I love Claude. It is a family name for me. I think of Claude Rains, and Claude Monet. It is very soft and artsy.

Don't like it or Claude, both colour black

I have always loved Claudia. The oldest sister of one of my grade school classmates was named Claudia and I just thought it, and she, was gorgeous. I've only ever met the one Claudia. The meaning does give me pause. Meanings are somewhat important to me generally. But I like the name itself so much, I could overlook that. Oddly, I used to really dislike the male version, Claude. But I'm starting to warm up to it as well lately. I'm feeling a lovely shade of green for the color.

Color-wise, idk, kind of a blue/gray/green tone? A cool color, at any rate. I feel like I used to have a better vision/mental picture of a hypothetical Claudia, but now that I have a real 6.5-week old named Claudia, it's more of a question mark. Once she gets older and starts to show some personality, I'll probably have more to say.

---

Claudia is one of my absolute favorite names. I pronounce it CLAW-dee-uh.

---

I do also like Claude. It was my great-grandfather's name. My grandma once remarked that she wished she'd been named Claudia, after her dad.

Claudia has umm a brownish orange and some of that banana yellow and white. Wow it sounds really ugly doesn't it? I love it. It's a thoughtful name. It makes me think of tall, thoughtful women. Scents and sounds... temple pillars in an autumn forest.

---

Claude I don't care for as much - neutral. I like its heft, but I find it unattractive.

Claudia feels reddish-brown to me, but it mostly reminds me of The Babysitters Club. Scent-wise it makes me think of chocolate, which is heavily influenced by Claudia’s character.

---

The name is alright. I don’t love it, but I’m not opposed. I love Claude, though. It’s a family name. I think I would definitely consider using it as a middle name on a person.

I think it's blue, but only because my partner's niece is named Claudia but goes by Claudie pronounced cloudy (they speak Spanish primarily and say Claudia like cloudeeya).

---

I think it's a pretty name and really underused.

---

Most names don't have colors to me. I know this is a thing for others here, but only a handful have a color for me, and it's usually green.

---

Claude is cool. I'd consider using it.

Reddish/burgundy. I like it and would use it, though I’m inclined to pronounce it Cloud-ia rather than Claw-dia.

---

Claude is the name of a (male) family friend.

It makes me think of greens and blues and purples. It reminds me of Claudia Winkleman and her amazing hair lol. It’s sort of an okay name for me. It makes me think of clouds (therefore it’s quite a calm name) so that’s nice. I’d never use it though. I guess I’m not too keen on the look of the name? Hmm I don’t know.

---

Claude is very arty to me because of Claude Monet. It’s quite nice, actually.

Claudia is a very warm name to me, very red. Perhaps it's because of the "claw" imagery - my intuitive pronunciation is KLAW-dee-uh, since that's what I've grown up hearing. However, I actually think the KLOW-dee-uh pronunciation (which I believe is both German and Spanish), with the "cloud" imagery, is even prettier.

---

It's a strong name, imparting an impression that's the direct opposite of its literal meaning. Claudia is elegant, sophisticated, and resilient.

---

On the other hand, I don't like Claude at all. Sorry. I find it stuffy and effete.

I love Claudia. Light, airy breezy summer day in 1600s England. Smell of daffodils and soft pink roses just opened their buds to the sunlight.

---

Claude is old western cowboy movies and Claude Herdman. I like Claude too.

I love the names Claudia I also love Claudette

I see coral and violet with Claudia, but the colors, even coral, are somehow icy-looking. I think it's a very attractive, grown-up name, but has a bit of coldness to it.

---

I can't stand Claude as a person's name. It's unattractive and sounds exactly like clawed. My in-laws did used to have a very nice cat named Clawd. That was meant to be funny so I didn't mind it. I am actually not quite sure how it was spelled.
