So as you can see, I need others to assist me, and together we can bring color to the blind, and do it thru the love of our lives - MUSIC!!!!

Robert, I love music, however I can't carry a note in a wheelbarrow. I used to sing in the choir as a kid, but when my voice changed so did my singing abilities. I do own several guitars but I'm more of a collector than a player. I do know a little about web programming and I live in San Gabriel, just outside of downtown Los Angeles. Whatever I can do to help, I'd be happy to!

Thanks for the response. Let's stay in touch and I'll update what we are doing as quick as we finish the cosmetics for the sound and audio studio. Then it's off to the world of creativity and networking!

Wow! you're fast. I will need some help here as for my screen reader, (voice activated, it jumbles what you wrote. This is not your problem, it is JAWS..yuck! So if you could give to me in lay mens term it would help me to visualize what you are saying.

Better yet, you can email me and send me some samples. This is so cool!

So very cool!!

Here is what I'm thinking. Light wave frequency is measured in Terahertz. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 380 to 740 nanometers. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 405–790 THz. The spectrum does not contain all the colors that the human visual system can distinguish.
20Hz to 20,000Hz forms the absolute borders of the human hearing range, our hearing is most sensitive in the 2000 - 5000 Hz frequency range.
Everything around us is all about frequency. Frequency of waves. The closer the waves to each other, the higher the frequency. Y'all with me? Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz) which is equal to one occurrence of a repeating event per second.
Now if we can relate the THz frequency of color with the Hz frequency of sound, we just might be able to do this. We no the limits of sound and color so knowing our borders is 1/2 the job.
Now if we drop some zeros from the colors, 405 THz is now 40.5 Hz and 79 THz is now 79 Hz.

Great to habe tou here Robert! It's a laid back vibe here and a nice way to relax!
Welcome sir!
OP
Now we need to find the blues, reds greens and the rest of the visual spectrum. Below is the rainbow flag which also happens to have 12 colors with ultraviolet on top fading through to the 12 step which is Infra Red. I have added the note for each color...
OP
OK @Robert F. Smith. I realize that this theory needs much more refinement, but what do you think of this idea? Perhaps we can get your agent help you decipher this image and add his opinion. If anyone here can help identify the actual names of the 12 colors, please feel free to jump in.

I'm gonna take this chart and use it with my blind friends. I wonder if a single note represents color or is a combination. "Feelings", are most likely a part of it. A few years ago, my agent had me get out of a car and he wanted me to see what a daisy looked like. It was in the early morning so the dew was still on the flower. He had me take a breath mint and breath in. It was cool, and he said as I touched the petal, that is white. Then he had me touch the middle of the flower where it was yellow. He said, "Put your face to the sun, and feel the warmth on your face. That is yellow. When I breathed in, and felt the cool in my throat and added the warmth of my face of the yellow, it kinda made sense to me. That's where we thought if we added music, we could see color.
