An ominous color would be a dreadful color to see, but the color would be subjective. Usually dark colors are considered ominous, but if you dose off while driving at night, bright white would be an ominous color to see when you wake up.

Like a threatening color. It's related to a negative connotation. For example, "Although black sometimes symbolizes death, evil, and darkness, it isn't always an ominous color."
Something like that.

ominous means threatening... it refers to an "omen" which some believe to foretell coming (usually bad) events.
the phrase is often used to describe the color of the sky before a storm.
