C and D, off the top of my head. Although neither one of those are particularly good fits; in fact, an eddy is basically a current. Check http://www.dictionary.com for more details.

That is what I used for my 48 other ones. I couldn't find these two on there. I am leaning towards ebony and dove.

Dove doesn't make any sense at all. An eddy is a current or flow against the main flow, while a dove is a bird.

All right, dove means gray, but once again, its choice is under eddy, which has nothing to do with either birds or colors.
