“…Further, the impressions that were created were similar even for the classification of music with expressions in color as variables. As suggested by Yamawaki & Shizuka (2005), this investigation evinced a commonality between the impressions created by music and color [6].…”

“…A previous study on the image of PCCS tone illustrated that the PCCS tone can capture a wider range of impressions than hue 2012, Wakata & Saito;2015) [4,5]. Yamawaki & Shizuka (2005) suggested that the visualization of sound and color do not inhabit totally different image spaces [6]. In this study, it was assumed that color can express impression, and the investigation aimed at expressing music through color.…”

Music comprises numerous components and is thus difficult to express. If an image of music could be visually articulated, smoother communication could be achieved. Previous research has demonstrated that color is able to express impressions, and this study aims to express music through colors. Two experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 evaluated the impression of music and 40 compositions of varied genre were used as stimuli. Color stimuli were selected from the Practical Color Coordinate System (PCCS). 12 tones, 12 hues, and achromatic colors (in total 25 color stimuli) were used. Impressions were assessed using the 7 step Semantic Differential (SD) method that utilized 20 adjective pairs. Subjects first evaluated the impressions they received from the music, then selected colors that matched or mismatched those impressions. The music stimuli used in experiment1 were also employed for Experiment 2, which pertained to the expression of music through colors and an application was used for this purpose. The expression of the music was accomplished in two parts: by tone, and by hue through achromatic color. Subjects changed the size of the color patches displayed on the screen of the application to express the music they heard using colors. Results were recorded for each stimulus with each color designated a numerical value between 0 and 100. The results of the factor analysis for impression data revealed four factors. The regression analysis demonstrated that color expressions using tones in Experiment 2 corresponded to these factors.
