I haven't been clear here, I'm afraid. "Association" is a relatively
spontaneous reaction. They may occur with colors or anything else.
I chose colors simply because that's the case I know better (my own
case), and I wanted to know if someone had a similar kind of reactions.
Associations with other elements are welcome too. I'm interested mainly
in what do listers think about the causes that motivates them.

Everybody knows that Mahler's 8th = hockey. You should see a psychiatrist.
:-)

I reformulate my question: "what are your own lists of arbitrary
associations (in case that you have it), and which do you think are their
causes?.
