What color do you think of when you hear...

Here's something fun to try, listen to a song and then post the song and the first color that pops into your head when you hear that song. If there isn't a distinct color in your head just move on to a different song.

Here are some that I did....

Lateralus- Tool (Green)

Stadium Arcadium- RHCP (Yellow)

Ride The Lightning- Metallica (Dark Blue)

MFC- Pearl Jam (Dark Red)

Try it out! I'm curious to see what you come up with for different songs.

The color I see tends to coincide with the color of the album cover. I actually read an interview with Jimmy Page where the guy told him about that theory, and said "for example, Houses Of The Holy is a very orange-sounding album to me. Does that make sense?" And Jimmy said, yes, that made sense to him.

So I always think of songs on LZ IV as being grey, songs on Houses sounding Orange, LZ II as sounding brownish...

If you look at the thread starters list...there are several bands...

Why do people seem to think it's Zep exclusive ?

i think the jimmy quote about HOTH being "orange" got everyone going... but I'll talk other bands..

The Velvet Underground and Nico- Purple/Yellow

In the Court of the Crimson King- I see it changing from Dark Red to light blue every other song

21st Century Schizoid Man- Dark Red

I Talk to the Wind- Light/sky Blue

Epitaph- Dark Red

Moonchild- Light/sky Blue

In the Court of the Crimson King- Dark Red
