This was fun but really short ... I must have missed the part where it explained the correlation between the color and the noise pattern. Why is it "pink" versus "chartreuse"?
Sometimes when I'm at the edge of sleep and a loud noise occurs, it may jolt me without immediately causing me to open my eyes. A pattern then appears in my vision that is invariably white on black (or seems to be) and usually looks like a splash. The title of this article led me to think there might be some discussion of that how a noise affects our visual/color receptors in the brain because there must be some overlapping wires in my head ...
- vortico 7y agoThe article forgets to answer the question in the title, but the answer is simple. Pink noise has more bass, and the color pink has more lower frequency light. Red noise has even more bass because red light is even lower frequency. Blue and violet noise have more treble, and those colors have more high frequency light.

- graup 7y agoThere's a great talk by Adam Neely going into some interesting relations between sound and color: https://youtu.be/JiNKlhspdKg?t=1787 https://youtu.be/JiNKlhspdKg?t=1787 (timestamp where he starts talking about color, but the whole talk is interesting.)
