These approaches are either direct or indirect relationships.Ī direct relationship has some formula or mapping that translates between a pitch and a color. Many approaches to the Sound-Color relationship have been explored over the centuries. Some colors produced by a computer screen do not appear in the visible light spectrum. Note that not all colors can be represented in every system. In this system, it is typical to give a single number - the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation - when specifying the color. Another method for specifying colors is to use the visble colors we can see in the electromagnetic spectrum - the colors of light that we see in a rainbow. These systems often have multiple components, such as the Red-Green-Blue systems used in Cathode Ray Tube displays. The various systems, called color models, are often related to the practical aspects of displaying colors on display screens or printers. How are the colors being represented or specified?.A musical interval such as a minor third or a perfect fifth.This is often translated into pitch based on some pitch standardĪnd tuning system (typically a pitch standard of A=440 or A=432 and a tuning system ofġ2-TET or some just-intoned tuning system). The fundamental (lowest) frequency component of the sound.The vowel that is used by people who are doing vocal toning.What apsect of sound are we dealing with?Īspects of sound have been connected with color include:.Two basic questions need to be addressed when connecting sound with color: While “frequency” is a measure commonly used for both compression and electromagnetic waves, the two types of waves have substantial differences.ĭespite these challenges, the Sound⇔Color link has been reported to be potentially useful in many contexts including the treatment of synethesia, music education, meditation practices, and therapeutic music making. Light (and hence color) is based on an electromagnetic wave. Sound is based on vibrations of air molecules as a moving compression wave. Please realize that the vibrations of sound and light are very different. However, before diving too far down this particular rabbit hole topic, This page delves into consonant relationships between sound and color and and provides a tool to let you explore their relationship.
And, even though the sounds we can hear have a much lower frequency than light that is visible to us, there is a range of sound frequencies that have corresponding consonant colors.
Sound and light share the fundamental nature of vibration.
