What does it mean to see an item a certain color?

Ok, I have covered loads on color but what happens when you see an object or item a color. Such as millions of red spiders in a dream? The color of a dream object or animal can be simply derived from past associations, something you had seen in waking life that the dream is recalling. For the most part, however, the color comes from an association with the effect it has on your nervous system and your emotions. Our relationship with color has formed as a part of the evolutionary process of the mind and therefore has a somewhat similar effect on all humans. If we can determine the effect a particular color has on us, then we can understand its “meaning” to us.
