Sorry, but then we have different interpretations of the same.

Inside NAME, one must have an array with VALUE1 and another with
VALUE2. I admit that rereading now made it clearer for me. Let me
reformulate:
$array = array(
'john' => array(
'VALUE1' => array('red'),
'VALUE2' => array('45','56')
),
[...,]
);
Your way is similar to mine, but my second value is not inside the
first value ;) They are in different arrays.
