Some people can identify music notes as well as colour.
One should note that colours perception may also essentially differ from one individual to another. Early training works wonder for music. Colours are everywhere, and most people can see, whereas most people don't train to recognize individual notes. That skill is not that useful, including for trained musicians. Most people can agree that the sky is blue. However, a trained painter may be able to see much more nuance.

Sure, but most people can reliably and predictably name some dozen colours. > That skill is not that useful, including for trained musicians. If people in general had had perfect pitch, music might have looked different from today. Absolute pitch would probably have been an important feature. The reason it isn't important is precisely because most people can't perceive it.
- mywittyname 5y agoThere is a training aspect to identifying color as well. People from cultures without the name for a color group have difficulty identifying a color as distinct without a name for such group. Heck, even people from the same cultures will disagree on the classification of the same color experienced in the same situation. Remember the dress controversy a while back? People couldn't agree whether or not it was black & blue or white & gold.
