Dec 5, 2016 at 6:41 comment added Huperniketes @ShashankSawant Why do you believe red is at a lower frequency than blue? Is it really your intuition, or are you referencing another source for this data, and applying some other factor to assigning frequencies to colors? Of what significance is the EM frequencies of the colors to the notes when learning their locations on the keyboard? If one is picking colors for keys, the importance is in selecting colors which effectively aids in locating, identifying and remembering their associated sound and position. Applying an external reference (EM frequency) is what is truly counter-intuitive here.
Jun 2, 2012 at 2:13 comment added Shashank Sawant Thanks for the answer. But the above color scheme is quite counter-intuitive. C should have been red and G should have been blue (I am a student of science and in physics higher frequency visible light is near blue). I don't think I am a synesthete and I don't have an obvious relation from music to color - most of it is because of the relation of frequency to color in physics.
