Wiktionary

Colour is what your eyes catch when light bounces off a thing — the redness of an apple, the blue of the sky. From that one perception (a thing 'has' a colour) everything else grows: the stuff that puts colour on (paint, dye), the colour in a person's skin or cheeks, and then a jump to the figurative — the 'colour' a story or a team carries, the way one thing can tint how you see another.

可以想成：光打在東西上、反射進你眼睛，你接收到的那個紅、那個藍、那個黃，就是 colour。一切都從這個最樸素的知覺長出去——先是「東西帶著一種顏色」，再到「拿來上色的東西」（顏料、染料），再到「人臉上的血色」，最後跳到比喻層：一個故事帶的『色彩』、一支隊伍的『代表色』、一件事如何染上你看另一件事的眼光。
