Indeed, I did the same, and I think I actually used the very same words,
when I made my "baghwI'" game (a relabeled "Twister" which I've brought to
qep'a'mey but which nobody has ever played).  You'll tell me that Klingon
plants aren't necessarily green, their sun isn't necessarily yellow, and
their sky not necessarily blue?  Fair enough: they were named after the
*local* (terran) conditions.  So there.
