We have colorized guitars and violins using Spectrum color. By colorizing a guitar one can instantly see every location of a particular chord. For example a C Major chord would have the colors Red, Yellow, and Red-Orange. These three colors would be instantly observable so that a beginning student could play that chord in any location instead of learning one location as is traditionally taught. One can also colorize for a Drop D tuning and easily make the adjustments using color.

The point is that once the languages have been properly correlated, then the musician will have a vast new array of tools to expand the diversity of music in ways which have never been conceived. The ability for the musician to use color theory to conceive of new outcomes is an unprecedented advancement and opens up a new frontier of exploration.

That would mean you'll need to make your own scheme according to the color you see. I've heard some people agree on some colors. A study should be conducted with a great deal of little children under 5 years with suspected chromesthesia, trying to get them to match colors to notes. This might help to learn if color and notes correlations are objective and then affected by human experiences, or if these correlations depend on other genetic factors. Kiki and bouba prove mostly that there is something subjective on synesthestic correlations.

Most musicians don't use pencils even for black and white scores. They use computers. There is also much more going on here than just the colorizing of pitches. Color opens up musical frontiers which have never been explained such as microtonal intervals and relationships of 24 tone tunings. Not to mention the fact, that duration(rhythm) and volume can also be colorized. New paradigms of song construction can be conceived of in ways that blow away current approaches.

Color Wheel Music Theory I see. Those are two more recent color terms, so the "blue" and "red" was used in these publifications for hues different from what we'd use now, and the terminology doesn't quite correspond with today's color terms. Didn't you want to relabel the twelve color terms in this wheel though, to make it more contemporary? You could have used Magenta, Yellow, Cyan, Red, Blue and Green. Admittedly I can see why you didn't, as this color circle is a somewhat altered color wheel, and what would have to be labeled as "red" and "blue" would actually be orange and violet respectively. And using these two colors as base terms instead while describing blue as "Cyan/Violet" and red as "Magenta/Orange" would be even more confusing than having the magenta hue labeled as red and the cyan hue labeled as blue, especially since cyan is incorrectly considered as "blue" by most people to begin with. I assume this altered color wheel was chosen because here each segment is more discernible from the others than on a regular color wheel, where the green hues in particular are more alike because they have a very similar brightness?

As a visual artist trained in traditional color theory, this was very helpful in understanding halftones and the circle of 5ths. And when I listened to the notes in color I could really HEAR the variations in them. That said, I had to map my traditional colors to your Fibonacci-like color wheel so I didn't go crazy (:-P). All that said, I definitely see the correlation between the two systems and appreciate you mapping them out. One questions. In visual arts complementary colors like Yellow (E) and Violet (A#Bb) are said to help each "sing." However, listening to them in on the piano they are dissonant. Why? I would have thought they would have created a harmony -- filling in the vibrations across the circle of fifths. BTW, I'm a total musical novice

One of the most profound subjugations in the history of physics and music was that of the undertone harmonic series which is an exact mathematical inversion of the overtone series. It was discovered in 1700 by Savuer, but the physics of how it was vibrating on a string could not be explained, and it was subsequently buried as a legitimate concept. The solution of color could never have been discovered without understanding the overtone and undertone series working in duality like the light wave.

The new book A Rosetta Stone by the brothers Mark Sandborn and Michael Sandborn detailing the science correlating color and sound is now available. This groundbreaking treatise features a comprehensive analysis of harmonic theory and elucidates a new harmonic model. The fundamental correlation between tristimulus color and tristimulus formant vowels (pitch) and consonants (duration/rhythm), and the further correlation to the Circle of 5ths is presented in detail including all relevant scholarly research providing critical evidence in support of this model. A wide range of historical data concerning the harmonic origins of music and spoken language is explored to provide much needed context. The Western music notation and music language system is analyzed and includes an introduction to the new harmonic model of a 12 species duration (rhythm) system which is the harmonic mirror of the 12 species of pitch. This is the first time that the harmonic science of duration key structure has ever been presented. Accordingly, it is shown that duration (rhythm) has harmonic functions exactly like pitch including duration scales, duration chords, and duration harmony progressions. The structure of linguistic phonemes (vowels and consonants) are demonstrated including the illustration of the 12 vowel species of circular vowel space and the 12 consonant species of circular consonant space. It is further shown that spoken language and music operate via the same harmonic structures. The scientific correlation to tristimulus color is demonstrated for all of these components. Finally, all of these concepts of harmonic theory are discussed in the context of the Virtuoso 3.0 music methodology and how they are implemented in the educational course of learning the language of music, instrument performance, and composition.

Thanks for your comments. There is no direct correlation between light waves and sound waves. The historical error of all prior attempts to correlate color to sound was because they attempted to make a direct correlation of physical waves. The correct correlation results from the perception of numbers combined with the correlation of squared harmonics, ie, the electromagnetic wave is a dual wave system and the Pitch/Duration wave is a dual wave system.

The only thing that's missing from this explanation of color and music is the frequency. Most musicians follow the standard of 440 HZ, but it should be 432HZ making it compatible with the human nervous system. Therefore the colors being associated with the musical notes could be off for a person that actually sees colors when music is playing at one hertz setting vs another one.

There is truly something profound to this as I see fractal elements emerging as a fundamental ‘number line’ akin to musical notes. I believe the fundamental disconnect between continuous functions (waves) and the number line used in our math (1234567) system is the flaw. Math itself is flawed and the number line we use in math should not be 12345… but more like this a spiral fractal system perhaps based on 12 as per piano octave notes and spiraling (the new number line ) which intuitively resembles nature. I believe the universe is a stable harmonic oscillator , essentially a vibrating string with fixed length (L, the length of the universe, also the lifespan, an actual fundamental constant ) and the “way “ God plucked it when He created the universe. We cannot fundamentally know this I risk condition as we cannot know the Mind of God, put another way, universe is modeled by Mandelbrot set type math better since it’s a recursive function that led to a. Stable oscillation . Perhaps God plucked many strings many different ways, some led to no stable harmonic oscillation , some did , one of which is our universe.

This theory defines all historical tunings by color because of its ability to define microtonality. Through this one can even define a monochromatic color tuning through the use of mictrotones. Observe that there are 7 microtonal Red notes per octave. This means that monochromatic music can be composed, just as monochromatic color paintings occur in the visual arts. The 7 note monochromatic scale correlates to historical tunings in Uganda, Thailand, India, and South America.

This means that if the identity of a number or ratio can be ascertained through perception, then the perception of that numeric concept will be the same no matter the circumstance to which it is applied. For example the ratio 2:1 defines the concept of sameness in sound. This means that no matter what field one applies the 2:1 ratio, it will also define sameness. The 3:2 ratio defines closest perception of a non-identity number. The 3:2 ratio then defines closeness in all circumstances.

The solution of the correlation between color and sound demands that squared harmonic series be compared against squared harmonic series. The only way this is possible is to understand the physics of the undertone harmonic series as a mathematical inversion of the overtone harmonic series.

You should read the paper on the Virtuosoism website titled 'The Symmetry Field Circle" before you cast judgement. If color and sound can truly be correlated then Yellow and Blue must be able to add mathematically to make Green. The reason Cyan(true blue), Magenta(true red), and Yellow are defined the way they are is because they are equidistant which is the only way the entire color set can be derived. By the way, Smalin doesn't have true compliments either which is a significant flaw.

That is suggesting that mathematically 523-Sharp is the same number as 554.

Think about the statements Yellow and Blue make Green, or Red and Yellow make Orange, or Red and Blue make Violet. Those statements can only be true if the colors Red, Blue, and Yellow are equalized around the color circle. Magenta and Cyan as names, tend to be used more in the print industry than in the arts. The scientific naming of the color circle was established in 1766 by Harris in his treatise The Natural System of Colors. He was one of the fathers of modern color theory.

In the system you describe C=Red and C#=Red-Orange. C and C# are distantly related tones even though they are physically next to each other. So by applying color to tones in the way that you suggest, you are applying closely related colors to distantly related tones which is illogical.

2:09 »The scientific correlation between the languages of color and sound is a recent discovery.« Got any links to backup that claim? There are cases of synesthesia where people perceive each note at a particular color. And it could be a helpful tool for some people doing music. But there's no science here that "discovered" any objective, a priori correlation between these two.

One more question, would you be kind enough to elaborate on what you mean by "the perception of numbers combined with the correlation of squared harmonics"? And could you clarify what you means by "the electromagnetic wave is dual wave system and the Pitch/Duration wave is a dual wave system"? If they are both a "dual wave system", surely they can be compared to each other, yet, you say there is no direct correlation. Sorry for so many questions, this is just a really interesting topic! :)

"The only correct perception between sound and color is that of correlating..." So the colors would presumably "correlate" with the notes in the sense that their wavelengths are several octaves higher? Otherwise the associated colors would be arbitrary. "The scientific correlation between the languages of color and sound is a recent discovery." If you consider circa Isaac Newton to be recent. I'd expect there to be a subtle difference in color between a Pythagorean C Major chord and a 12-TET C Major chord. And I imagine the color would be completely different once we use 432 hz. Because ofc we're going to use 432 hz. What's the color of the same chord if I flatten the third to a neutral third? Gotta have them quarter tones.

Have you considered the relationship between what you are postulating and Synesthesia? I have wanted to incorporate a color system into my pedagogy for several years but have been unable to find a universal standard up until now. It would have to be simple enough for the average student to assimilate and use in a classroom setting.

The 12 pitches of music were not arrived at arbitrarily. For example, if one goes back a few hundred years to Mean-Tone Temperaments, they will find that circularity of 12 pitches cannot be obtained because the pitch palette is skewed. This means that in order for color and sound to be correlated, they must have the same tuning. The correlation also requires a knowledge of squared harmonics which was discovered by MS Squared research. The correlation is impossible without squared harmonics.

Hi guys please can anyone tell me why the note C is in red in the circle of fiths? according to the light spectrum it is green Totally opposite Do other people see it as red? Carmen by Bizet toreador theme is in A its Spanish theme full of energy passion which is correlated to red colour Is there something wrong here?

I liked your clean method of positioning the elements, but why to jump the primary notes from one to one tone and not respect the semi-tonal transitions like E to F or B to C ? and why C is pink and not green? (according to the theory A-432Hz)

One cannot physically compare a squared harmonic series to a single harmonic series. The solution of the correlation between color and sound demands that squared harmonic series be compared against squared harmonic series. The only way this is possible is to understand the physics of the undertone harmonic series as a mathematical inversion of the overtone harmonic series. These two harmonic series of sound are then squared in order to make a comparison to the electromagnetic wave. cont-

It may be a good educational tool, but the mapping between a particular colour and note still remains arbitrary since the division of an octave into 12 equally spaced tones is arbitrary as well. Why not use a 53 equal tempered scale, where you could find much much more pronounced examples of dissonant and consonant intervals.

+Vsevolod Tokmakov Thank you for your comments. However, the division of the octave or the color spectrum into 12 equalized centers is not arbitrary. We suggest that you take a look at the book 'A Rosetta Stone' which elucidates a comprehensive history of harmonic theory, color theory, and linguistic theory. You will find that the questions you raise are discussed and analyzed in detail within this text.

+Color Wheel Music Theory Hi. I was looking into buying the book but was hold back because I could only find a DVD-ebook format. Is there any shop to find the book in just an e-book format? If it's not a hard copy , I don't see the point in shipping just a dvd that boosts up the price by a third (for my country) for no reason at all.

+Bass meo There are two main reasons for the DVD e-book. The first is that there are many pages with dramatically oversized graphs. The largest graph is 6 feet by 6 feet. Because of these reasons, along with the fact that these graphs are highly detailed, we have not been able to find a suitable e-book delivery system so have had to use the medium of a DVD.

There are always reasons why standards are created justifiably or not. Just look at the history of the calendar. Who stood to gain from that enterprise? Or look at the struggle between individuals of science. Take Descartes and Fermat. Fermat was one of the most brilliant mathematicians in history, but because he got in the way of Descartes ambitions, and because Descartes had political clout, he was professionally buried and Fermat's genius went largely unnoticed for a few centuries.

I found with a quick search that the visible light spectrum is just under an "octave", with the lowest frequency visible light being around 400 and the highest just under 800. I was thinking that perhaps we can take what we know about the ratios of pitches that sound good together, like a note and another at 1.5 times its frequency, a note and its fifth, and apply it to light waves (color). I was wondering what this would look like, if it would look "good' like a note and its fifth sound good.

Ya know I was expecting something different than what I just saw. I would not have expected that closely correlated colors would correspond to harmonious sounds. I actually had something else in mind for a long time but never got around to it: an octave is composed on a sound, and a sound that's twice the frequency correct? I was thinking we could take the visible light spectrum and turn that into an "octave" (cont.)

The only difference would be that the light wave would have a greater velocity and travel through a different medium--though I understand that light doesn't travel through a "medium" but is rather characterized by undulating electric and magnetic fields--but it's the mathematical similarity I'm pointing towards here. If so, shouldn't light waves "add up" like sound waves? And when we add them could we be able to see a "beat frequency", as we can hear one with sound? (cont.)

Colors opposite each other on the color wheel though are NOT dissonant, they are called complimentary because they complement each other! I'm referencing "then the complementary color effect is visually describing the aural dissonance." at 3:29 in.

They compliment each other only because they oppose each other. That's more of a divide, rather than a harmony. In this sense, yes, complimentary colors are dissonant. The proof is that when they are mixed, they cancel out to grey. If they were harmonic, they would blend.

I still disagree on this one. Orange and Blue compliment each other because they are most the most un-like--the most un-equal. They are like opposing teams. Complimentary colors are continually at war with each other. They fight to take over. The beauty is in the fight, not in the harmony. That's irony. // They got the colors wrong on this, too. C begins a spectum as a red-like tone; & it goes up from there, chromatically. People with perfect pitch all describe these notes similarly. (C is deep and fiery, Ab is cool and smooth, etc.).@@juliankeller5030
