How do you, personally, group/associate various colors with each other? (discuss.online)

This is separate from the technical categorization of colors. Rather, how do you associate color families in your thoughts? Also, how good is your color vision, for comparison?

For me, I have excellent color vision;

Reds, pinks, magentas, very red oranges
Oranges, Yellows, Browns, very yellow greens
Greens
Most blues, purples, very blue greens
Whites, off-whites, creams, light blues
Black, grays, very dark blues, and other near-black colors that aren't browns

I also have very good color vision.

For me it heavily depends on the context. For example I have spent some time working out a color palette for my wardrobe, so now the colors I use there are heavily associated for me.

Without any context, it's similar to your grouping, except for the second group: oranges go nearly all to the reds, yellows go to the greens, browns go to black and greys.
