Alch potion name generation

Have the alch potions have name generated based on the ingredients how they were made. Doesn't have to be "int potion" but could be something larpy.

Or just some random name given by the effects that they give or such. That is, if you want to avoid this happening for alchemy.

It's intentional that you don't know how a potion was made, otherwise it'd list ingredients like cooking.

I wouldnt even mind a name generated based on the effect rather than list ingredients.

Isn't it better to generate color instead of name?

Raw materials, i.e. items with alchemical properties acquired from nature, have four deterministically randomized potential colors (out of 15 pigment colors).
Most dominating color among all ingredients generates elixir color.
