Absolute pitch again

[Tony Caught]

Hi Richard & Stan  & all

In thinking colour to key also think of the system of teaching mentally
different persons how to play piano by colour.

As we all know each note in the octave is a different frequency, then, that
freq is doubled for the next octave etc., now different colours also have
their own frequencies and if one was to find the right colour freq. to match
the note harmonic freq and work through the octave in this fashion, one
might say that the note is related to colour.

It has never ceased to amaze me that some people can just look at a board
with 3,847 dots on it and tell you straight away that there is 3,847 dots on
that board.  They don't count them, no time, the answer is just there, same
as 2,567,000 / 36 = 71305.55556 some people just do it.

somehow matching colour to freq seems easier,  what do you think ?
