Grammatical and ungrammatical English sentence? Semantic relationship between colors?

Dear members,
I have some confusing questions about syntax and semantics. My friend has introduced me this forum recently and I strongly believe that you all will give me helpful explanations. I would appreciate your help much. These are the problems:
1) what is a grammar in the form of a list of pharse structue rulesneeded to generate all of the below pharse structures rules: a) S-> Det N V Adj N
b) S-> Det N PP V NP PP
c) S-> NP V PP
d) S-> PP V NP
e) S-> NP V NP NP
f) S-> NP V Det N PP
2) what is the difference between grammatical and ungrammatical Englishsentence that CAN be generated by this above grammar, as well as that CAN NOT be generated by this above grammar? Give me examples, please!
3) what is the semantic relationship between colors?

Thank you very much for your all helps. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
