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.

I might add red as the feeling you get when you get burned. White is the color of frozen snow and blue is the color of the cool water in a swimming pool on a hot summer day. Black is the emptiness your heart feels when you lose someone you love

Also, Robert Smith, I bet you haven't tried this trick.

I have a little buddy here in the Baltimore Md area who had to have his eyes removed when he was a 9 month old baby due to cancer. He is now 14 and has battled cancer every day since a baby. Yet, one of his favorite things to do is to play video games.
I asked his mom, HOW did he learn to play video games when he can't see? She said he listens to the TV/Computer and feels the action in his controllers. Amazing.

OK, so now we gotta think of octaves of colors. Instead of words for a song, it would be sang saying colors. A bend could be “yellow, yellow green, oh yah”. Quite an interesting subject.

Well that’s cool. Having writing a lot of software in my younger days (was writing voice recognition algorithms in the late 70s, long before Alexa), I understand the voice recognition and text-to-speech fields. What does the software speak when it encounters an emoji? Does it do something like, is speaking the text and then says “emoji running around the sky is falling” or “emoji hitting head against a brick wall”? I’m curious how well software can decipher and describe an animated gif emoji.

It's usually a quick description, and it probably doesn't do so much for the bilnd, however, my agent always takes the time to explain it in detail for me so it comes alive.
