I'm making a collection of color pallets for school.
Here is what I have so far... Send me pics of things that you think are interesting color pallets so I can include them.
love you
@owen Not to be too much the company stooge, but I've always appreciated the NBC colors and how (Hofstader warning) they seem like the "same" shade of each color.
@B yeah might be interesting to collect different rainbows... Already have Tony's
@owen I also like that NBC uses a six color rainbow, which is appropriate. Supposedly Newton forced seven (indigo? really?) because of his deep religiosity and the positive significance of 7 and negative connotation of 6 in Christianity.
@B six is such a great number because it gives you three primary colors and when you mix those you get three secondary colors. something so satisfying about the math of that kind of like having 12 notes in an octave is great.
@B although most musical scales are organized around having seven unique pitch classes and if we're assigning rainbow colors to musical notes Sir Isaac Newton system is better
@owen So, what color are the notes?
@B C-red D-orange E-yellow F-green G-blue A-purple B-magenta
Actually fairly standardized. Most painted child xylophones use these colors and boomerwackers also use these colors
@B I would keep C red I would make E natural yellow and I would make G sharp or A flat blue and divide the spaces in between evenly based off the chromatic scale.
This system keeps what is already fairly standardized (C red D orange E yellow) but takes into account the chromatic scale and has the advantage of being based off of a 12th note system which is evenly divisible by three and six!
@owen Any variations for major or minor? I know we're not talking about single notes anymore, but how would somebody with synathesia "see" different chords?
@owen Yeah, that's how they do it. But how would you do it? What color is B minor? E major?
