On page 87 Locke talks about his concerns of colors and smells can also mean and be understood of tastes and sounds. "Whatever reality we by mistake attribute to them, are in truth nothing in the objects themselves, but powers to produce various sensations in us, and depend on those primary qualities, viz., bulk, figure, texture, and motions of parts", says Locke.
This situation describes how our senses and qualities work together. For example, with admiration to sight, taste and smell, looking at a color may suggest any number of other sensations.

The example of looking at a color can trigger any number of our sensations seems to be true in fact and a perfect example. When thinking of thsi example, I think of art and how in a museum like the MET one can find contemporary artist paintings of panels of one solid color and many peopel can be found around it for a few minutes to an hour discussing what they see in teh color red, etc...
