mapping sound and color

Color of My Sound. Choose a color of a sound or song and see how others have voted with their comments. Add your own audio files. (more)
It would be more interesting if the "choose a color" interface were randomized. It looks (to me at least) like the spacial relationship of the color is the largest factor in the selection of said color.
Oh, and I'm not filling out that crappy form.

I wish I could be synesthesic, but I find I have to force an association between the sound and a color by imagining myself within the sound's environment. My association rarely feels "true" to me. Fun link — thanks, nickyskye!

crunchy:
play with the buttons in the lower right. they change "view mode" from the color grid to an orbit to random. This gets you out of the traditional way of thinking of colors by shade.
also theres no validation on that form. just send a vote with as much descriptive info as you feel comfortable with.

Arthur Rimbaud was apparently obesessed with this sort of thing for a while.

I'm also frustrated with my lack of synesthetic abilities. Still, fun site!
