My index consists of metadata for a collection of 45 million

for "flower" with a red color filter:

I am interested in duplicating this. Can this group of fine people
point me in the right direction? I don't want anyone to do it for
me, just help me find software and/or algorithms that can extract
the color information, then find a way to get Solr to index and
search it.
When I took at look at the search results, it seems like the word
"red" shows up in the image name, or description, or tag for every
found image.
Are you sure Google is extracting color information? Or just being
smart about color-specific keywords found in associated text?
