Chromesthesia

The brilliant Australian conductor Simone Young once said that she has the condition whereby she can "see" musical notes as colours. This should not be surprising. Sound and light both come to us in waves. And wavelength (frequency) determines the pitch and colour of each. This condition is known as Chromesthesia.

 

Each of the seven notes on a musical scale can be represented by seven colours, and then we simply move up an octave.

 

• red-D.

• orange-E.

• yellow-F.

• green-G.

• blue -A.

• indigo-B.

• violet-C.

 

So that is all I have done here.
