Music & Color: Yellow

Music & Color: Yellow

Ever thought a song sounds warm? Or makes you feel red?

 

Do you see yellow as soon as your favorite album from high school starts playing?

 

There's a lot of ways to share, experience, describe and discover music. And we'd like to start a few threads focusing on Music & Color.

 

How does it work?

 

1. Think of a song that you would associate with the color yellow.

2. Right-click the song in Spotify and click 'Copy Spotify URI'

3. Click 'Insert/edit link' in a reply to this thread

4. Paste the URI

5. Click OK

6. Go to color-hex.com.

7. Find the perfect shade of yellow to match your song.

8. Copy the hex code and paste it below the song.

We'll then build an infographic that displays the songs and colors. It's an experiment for sure, but we're curious to see how this works with all your contributions.

Hello @saved

 

- or you just type in your post the Hex number of the color that you will get on the link gave by Meredith (none image will appear but it will be possible to get the Hex code for a future use)

 

- or if you have an image editor you can create a small square image filled with the color corresponding of the Hex code and you insert this image in your post and you also type the Hex code)

I was mistakenly thinking from reading Meredith's instructions that pasting would create a link to color-hex.com and display the sample, similar to things I have done on Last.FM in the (distant) past, not realising I had to paste the image separately.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Just remembered this one and I can't resist posting again.

I think of some nice jazz/R&B/Motown with sharp trumpets

Sun Models - ODESZA ft Madelyn Grant

hoping this counts as yellow, not orange...

Excellent addition!

This song gets me thinking about a somewhat yellow graveyard.

I am a audio-visual Synesthete, but usually what I see is much more complex than simply one color per song. It should be interesting to see how it works out though. I will see what I can do.

Interesting. I had never heard of synesthesia before so I just looked it up.

 

It's probably not the same, but when I posted Island In The Sun I realised afterwards I wasn't quite sure if it was yellow or blue, or both. I guess what you are talking about is much more complex.

 

Strange thing though is that when reading about conceptual synesthesia I became aware for the first time that for me the number 7 is green, in a shade darker and more leaning towards olive green than Spotify green.

 

With a nod to classical music, my first "yellow" thought is

 

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on Greensleeves

 

I wonder how you would see it...?

 

On Edit: Maybe we all relate to music in multiple colours, and this is really all about the dominant colour.

 

yellow sounds bright

 The color yellow is a bit odd. When I think of that color I don't get a defined feeling, but more like 'here I am, feeling empty.' Therefor I think jazz does it's job. spotify:track:32zna5FLT8EQboEzpWzV76 #ffe58f

The new Bahari track Dancing on the Sun was extremely visual for me the first time I heard it. Sounds like flower crowns!

 

Obviously, the title and album art bring to mind a very beachy theme. But more so, the driving bass line layered with the organ and shakey tambourine in the rhythm section sounds very mid 90's pop, which in color form reminds me of yellow! Like New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too yellow. I've pulled the hex code for the two shades that appear on that cover that show what came to mind!

My best friend just made me a summer mixtape for my birthday called "SMILE". Other than the title track "Smile" by The Royal Concept, I have to say this one makes me think of yellow.
