When I was an undergrad, one of my classmates in a Max programming class had synaesthesia - for her final project she programmed a patch that, when fed a monophonic input, would show the color her synaesthesia 'produced' for her.
It was really, really cool.

I would LOVE to see this program- I'm guessing it's lost in the depths of some PC somewhere...When I was an undergrad, one of my classmates in a Max programming class had synaesthesia - for her final project she programmed a patch that, when fed a monophonic input, would show the color her synaesthesia 'produced' for her.

Visible light is pretty much exactly 40 octaves up in frequency according to the tuning reference which was in use a good bit before the 20th century and this tuning system was related to earth geometry and sizes, incorporating the circumference of the earth, the moon, the sun, orbital velocity, etc.etc.- I read a book about the source of measures and it went into this for a few pages... I'm sure you'd find something about it on the net. F now = 349.23 (with A= 440Hz)
F then =372.52 Hz x 40 oct. = 4.095 (14th degree) Hz = the color red, shortly after infrared. If you want me to I'll scan the page in the book.

Hello,
Purple is tied to velvet, because it is a colour, that originally was extracted from some very rare snail or something and kings used to colour their velvet coats with it, it?s a ?royal? colour.
When I was studying illustration, I learned a lot about the psychology of colour, which is mostly culture-dependent. IIRC purple was an ambivalent colour, containing at the same time female(red) as male(blue). When lighted up with white, it get?s more ?culturally restricted?/asexual, like light blue and pink, with associations of children and safety. Darkend with black it get?s more, well, what you?re thinking
Of course there?s much more to it.
Make of it what you will, I just know the advertising industry is using such stuff succesfully.
