Has anyone ever seen "debian red" being used to describe non-debian related items in this way before?

A quick web search finds this Nokia device:

A bunch of colour sites define it too:

It wasn't used as the code name of the software, but the name of the
theme based on the 'Debian Red' colour. Journalists were mistaken.
I suspect that the official naming of that color as "Debian Red" is a
result of the trademarking of our logo. Strangely though, the #D70A53
color does not match the color definition of the swirl (or the dot of
the "i") in the open logo, which has #A80030 instead.
