Is there any scientific relation between a neon color and the element neon?

For example, was "neon" (color) originally caused by something involving the element neon? Or something similar? Or could it just be English being wierd/ a different unrelated reason?

Neon (the element) is used in neon lights; it gives off a distinctive neon-orange colour. Other gasses can produce other colours, e.g. carbon dioxide gives off a bright white light, mercury blue, hydrogen red, etc. Those colours have come to be known as neon colours.

Tldr; The type of light fixture was named after the element, and the range of colours was named after the lights that produced it.
