If this is indeed what you want, then it would be better if you could
structure the data as a list of dictionaries (instead of a dictionary with
lists as its values):
COLORED_THINGS = [
{'blue': 'sky', 'yellow': 'sun', 'red': 'blood'},
{'blue': 'jeans', 'yellow': 'banana', 'red': 'tomato'}
]
And use .bulk_insert to create the records:
db.color.bulk_insert(COLORED_THINGS)
