The Sound of Color or the Color of Sound

Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting all affect our perception of the world around us. That one can affect the perception of the other is also pretty clear. The nature of the project limits the number of means to the first two. Originally I thought about spelling the color name while the yarn curls its way to show the letters on the paper. I like it easy, simple and clean, but it felt wrong. I wanted to use sound to emphasize the color, its wave and energy.

The colors we perceive are the result of waves of light absorbed or reflected to our eyes, interpreted by our physical eyes and our conscious and subconscious minds. This we know. Waves meeting our ears and interpreted by our physical ear and our conscious and subconscious minds is our perceived sound.  Could I get the sound to emphasize the sensation of the color and the color to emphasize the sound?

The color of music,  or the music of colors, have been explored by many composers, philosophers and artists through time. Some of them have worked with the scale, giving each note a color. I found this overview of some of them on the net.

I want to use the corresponding note to sing the color name in my animation. I have done some reading on some of the different theories on this, and have decided to go for Alexander Scriabin's color keyboard. The keyboard colors takes basis in the circle of fifths from music theory and Sir Isaac Newton's Opticks.
