Sound and Color
| I'm trying to find an information about sound-color relations. One of most commonly system used - associates C with red, D with orange, E with yellow and so on. My question here is: Where from this system of associations came from? When and where it was created? I know other systems of color-sound tuning (like the one, based on octaves, where C is green if you follow up the frequency), and I'd like to know if this one - is a symbolic one, or if it has a deeper (pysiological? philosophical?) background. Whoever I ask - nobody knows, but all of them - use this association scale. Can you help? And I'd like also to know if there are other "technical" association systems. |

I'm sorry, but I'm out of this discussion. My english is limited, so I'm using "shortcuts". But my desire to talk in this particular tone - is limited even more. Bye and good luck.

Like "mainstream humankind" is a shortcut for "western cultural-ethnocentrism", well in a way it is...
But please continue, I'm the one who intruded...
Sincerely,
Alexandre
