There's the position on the light that adds to the meaning, too. "Stop" is the top light or sometimes the far left if it's a horizontal light. But our brains are accustomed to that as well as the color. Similarly, the shape and letters on a stop sign as well as the color together make up the icon.
Still, it sure would be interesting to see the world as someone else sees it for a bit. Just to see, ya know? :)
