The Relationship Between Music & Color

Music and color are similar in the uncanniest of ways. At a fundamental level, both hit us in a powerful, memorable, and emotional sense. Most entrepreneurs and brands overlook this connection, but it is essential. Keep reading to learn why!

Friday, July 29th

Can you see color when you hear certain sounds? No? Then you probably aren’t a synesthete. Don’t feel bad. You would fall into the 92.8% of individuals who are just regular humans. What I am referring to is synesthesia. Simply put, it’s a neurological phenomenon. It’s a phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to an involuntary experience of another sensory pathway.

One of the most exciting correlations between music and color is that both follow a spectrum. For example, it has been documented that synesthetes and non-synesthetes compare low musical notes to dark colors (negative) and high notes to bright colors (positive). 

But why is the relationship between music and color important? Below we’ll tell you why:

1. Music & color have consumer-targeting abilities

There are no wrong colors! But, some resonate better with certain age groups. As a result, specific colors could trigger a positive response with your target audience. Here’s a general breakdown of what this means:

  • Babies: high-contrast visuals
  • Pre-adolescent children: brighter primary and secondary colors (e.g., yellow, red, blue, green, orange, and purple.)
  • Teenagers: open to experimentation with complex colors (e.g., red, orange, yellow, chartreuse, green, sea green, cyan, turquoise, blue, indigo, magenta, pink, red, etc.)
    Young adults are very similar to teens, as defined color choices happen around 25.
  • Adults: preference for more subdued colors or colors that have low saturation.
  • Mature: Calming shades of blue, green, pink, and purple. 

2. Music & color can set a mood for your message

Be sure to choose music and colors that support the message you want to convey in your video, ad, design, logo, etc. When searching for music, think about how the music supports your color scheme and brand.

Here’s an example:
Black = Power, Authority, Glamour.

Hence, the music to go with it should make you feel powerful, capable, or glamorous, depending on your selling. 

More so, music & color subtly impacts decision-making and grow recognition for your brand as they can suggest product characteristics.

I love how Marcos lets me learn so many songs, not just one! I like how he gives me compliments. It’s really fun when Marcos does the bass clef with the left hand and I get to make up my own song that goes with it for a warm up. It’s fun because I get to make up my own songs. I love the sound of the piano!

I really like that we get to pick what songs we want to learn in Marcos’s guitar class. I also love that he is compassionate and lets us progress at our own pace. Marcos knows EVERYTHING about instruments, and I’m glad he can share some of it with me. I’m glad that I get to learn how to read, write, and play music for the guitar. It is a lot of fun when Marcos and I play the guitar together!

Both of my children love their music lessons with Marcos. They look forward to their music lessons each week and come home eager to practice their new pieces. I especially love that he teaches them to compose their own pieces and inspires their musical creativity. Marcos is always positive and encouraging with my children, and he has a knack for bringing out their best. I highly recommend 123 Rock to anyone looking for a music teacher!
