There were color coded sub-beaches at each of the major beaches.

Just saw that, freaking Army The 16th, commanded by Colonel George A. Taylor, was scheduled to land on “Easy Red” and “Fox Green” beaches, two sections of a five-mile-long beachhead code-named “Omaha”; the 116th’s assigned sectors, just to the west of the 16th’s, were designated “Dog Green,” “Dog White,” and “Dog Red.”

I would’ve always said “Omaha”, since it was such a cluster at first.
