What color is Middle “C”? Musical Pitch Related to Color. I purchased a program called Absolute Pitch which plays notes at random and assigns colors to help you learn to experience the unique “C”-ness of the “C” note in an atonal context.

What color is Middle “C”? Musical Pitch Related to Color

In the version I paid for Absolute Pitch 2.22 the test part isn’t working, but I’m hoping the programmer gets back to me soon with a fix. The Absolute Pitch does a great job in terms of choosing the most distinct 12 color pitches, but shouldn’t “Middle C” be yellow, sun colored? As far as colors go, I’ve seen others assigned to the notes.

Is any one color “correct” for a particular note, or is this an individual choice? What I want to see is a translation of audio frequencies to visual frequencies. The wavelength of each band of color in the visible spectrum (measured in nanometers, nm) can be halved repeatedly until the rate of its vibration falls within the octaves of the audible spectrum (measured in Hertz, Hz), giving a table of musical notes that correspond to each color (see Figure 2).

Harmonic Coloring

In western music, we have ended up with twelve pitches, all related to one another by the interval of the perfect fifth (more or less). On a piano keyboard, these are arranged in order by frequency. I decided instead to try arranging them so that adjacent pitches were a perfect fifth apart; this arrangement is known to musicians as the circle of fifths . Then, I applied the color wheel to this circle, so that pitches which were closely related by perfect fifths would be close in color: This turned out to be useful for showing things about tonality. This means that if you're playing a piece that stays in one key, it stays in one area of the circle. This same coloring can be applied to the scrolling score.
