Kohaku means 'amber'. This matches the color of her eyes and is a nice touch.
But Hisui means 'jade' and jade is very very green, while Hisui's eyes are blue.

Is there some backstory for this inconsistency?

Hisui is the most boring character of all the Tsukihime cast.

Don't the Japanese have a word that means both blue and green? Maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know.

Apparently white jade trades at 100x the price of gold
They had white jade inlays on the gold medals at Orimpic

Still, I'd be extremely surprised if they meant Hisui to be named after Lapis Lazuli.
