Douglas - Every wavelength is associated with one and only one frequency; that frequency is determined by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength - 8th grade physics. I still don't see how this adds any logical merit to the discussion. It is an emotional discussion, and could be useful because listening to music is an emotional experience (when done properly).
Some people experinece something called synesthesia (sp?) in which senses do cross; for them, sounds and words can have very distinct colors. I don't know if all people with this phenomena assign the same color to the same sounds as everyone else. Maybe this is what Douglas was trying to say. But people do seem to assign moods to colors; red is full of turmoil, deep blue is exciting but restrained; many people will describe whitish or glassy colorations to their system. This thread may show that no one percieves the same color the same way, or maybe there will be somke utility to assigning colors to sounds. Either way it will be interesting if people ltake it seriously.
