Color and sound

rem50 · Sep 5, 2013

I do not know who "they" are but I heard it said that musicians sometime see sound as a color. If that is true, what color would your favorite uke sound like? Mine would be a naples yellow (I like a bit bright but knocked down a little... if that makes sense) I think with a lean towards the warm earth tone of a yellow ochre. What about you?

A beautiful oceanic hue of green/turquoise. Of course, that might change with my mood.

Magenta!!!!. It's my favourite colour. And it makes me happy. So it would have to be that.

My favorite guitarist refers to different sounds as different colors. Check this video out. http://youtu.be/DJrEl4Nsmsg

This is a funny question! I think it should be different color for different song uke and people.... Can I choose "rainbow"?

I was sort of looking for your favorite. I too think different songs vary such as maybe a bright yellow for ait she sweet compared to a smokey color for "summertime". I was just wondering what your favorite uke sounded like color wise.
