Does this have anything to do with the color Imola?

Saw this while cruising around wiki about the MP4/4.

The original Imola Orange Pearl debuted on the Japanese market NSX in 1997, three years after Senna's death at that circuit. It seems like with the Senna-Honda and Senna-NSX connection, it would be too much of a coincidence to ignore!

New Imola Orange Pearl, the brighter version seen on the '02+ USDM cars, is actually a different shade but the connection is obviously still there.

It's a nice thought, but there are a lot of colors named after famous races/race tracks. Spa, Silverstone, Sebring, Monaco/Monte Carlo, Long Beach, etc
