title: Where is Meteor data in Mongo?
body: <p>I was coding along with the Meteor simple colours <a href="http://meteor.com/screencast" rel="noreferrer">example screencast</a>. After inserting some colours into the database via the Chrome JS Console (1:08 in the video):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Colors.insert({name: "red"});
  Colors.insert({name: "green"});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wanted to see if I could find this same data in the mongo console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ meteor mongo
  MongoDB shell version: 2.2.1
  connecting to: 127.0.0.1:3002/meteor
  &gt; show dbs
  local   (empty)
  meteor  0.0625GB
  &gt; use meteor
  switched to db meteor
  &gt; show collections
  colors)
  system.indexes
  &gt; db.colors.find()
  &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing. </p>
  
  <p>Why is there no data in there?</p>
  
  <p>Also why is there a ")" after the "colors" collection name, is that related?</p>
  
  <p>This is my .js file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Colors = new Meteor.Collection("colors)");
  
  if (Meteor.isClient) {
    Template.colour_list.colors = function()
    {
      return Colors.find({}, {sort : {likes: -1, name: 1}});
    };
  }
  </code></pre>
