I can agree with Pierre that color system of jefydei (jeftu djedi) might be 
better.
It'll give a flavor of liveliness to otherwise mathematically precise 
logical language.
This color system can be part of a totally independent Lojbani culture.

I can't agree with animal naming of months ({mlajukma'i} for July) as 
zodiac is not a stable thing throughout history due to precession effects. 
And it's not culturally neutral (some nations divided the route of the sun 
into more than 12 elements).

However, as Georgian calendar is official (like metric system) it'd be wise 
to use Georgian names.

Why should we name January the first month when New Year is in February in 
China?
Why September is {sozymasti} when as it's etymology suggests it's in fact 
the seventh month?
