What color...

[Yondo]

When I played music, I sometimes think of colors.

I've also noted relations between Rosetta Stoned and Third Eye.
The only difference it, Rosetta Stoned, to me, is Red, and Third Eye is blue.


I know this is silly... but what color do YOU think of when you listen to Rosetta Stoned?

a very small percentage of people hear music in colors so i don't know why there'd be a poll about it.

[Cha]

Always red. I always think of thrid eye being a really light green, maybe seafoam?

[nighthawk]

Violet.... and Thrid eye is like really deep blue.

[Shaz]

I dont get this post.


Sorry to hear that.

everything goes together, in my opinion. Touch to smell, sight to sound, smell to taste, sound to touch. Its all connected. If your brain gives you your own personal vision, or feeling, or something... and if you can relate it to a color, what color is it. Rosetta is definately Red for me. Jambi = green, 10000 days = black to white, intension = dark shimmery blue, viginti = BRIGHT orange.

its a personal question really.

peace



EDIT><<<isnt the color gray spelled... Gray? like, not alex grey but the color gray? just wondering.. never really looked at the crayon myself.

could be an international thing huh?>>>

[static]

I always get a mix of colors depending on the verse.

Third Eye however, is usually a deep blue.

[RedMetalSox]

Grey...glad you brought this up cause I see all songs in color.
Third Eye: Dark Blue
10,000 Days is green
Jambi is Mostly Red, but sometimes Blue...
I see most tool songs in either Blue, Green or Grey.

[Ryan]

Rosetta Stoned = Red

[Abeo]

i dont see colors in songs
but if i did
i would want rosetta stoned redish black :)

[Riff]

Yeah listen to Ryan, cause he KNOWS.

[Tyson]

Cyan.

Third eye is blue because "blue" is in the song.

Rosetta Stoned is actually VIOLET, sorry.

[EssnayRepXTamEt]

[OGT from back in the day]

read more carefully

i believe he was refering to the post by "theumphry05" which he quoted, not the thread starter.

[moneyisevil]

most of the songs on aenema are bluish-blackish-green

[PhatFiend]

PURPLE

[yossaricat]

burnt sienna

[praefector]

obviously brown


LIKE POOP

lolol

[MypugsAreSmarterThanYou]

I always see colors...
vicarious...white.
rosetta stoned...green.
thirdeye ...light green.
Jambi...light brown.
schism...black..
parabola..all colours..
ticks and leeches..white.
lateralus...purple.
the pot...green with white.
and so on..
i was gonna start a thread on this actually...but thought it was kinda silly.

[MentalSanityOff]

my first instinct was purple, so thats what i went with

[Yondo]

I thought so too... I'm glad so many of us are as visual listeners as I.


Red seems to be predominant. I can kinda imagine Purple... but I see that in Lateralus.

Exactly how you should put it. I was afraid, when posting, that by saying the colors I saw, I might influence what you guys put. I see that did not happen, which is awesome.

I wonder if this means anything...

[T-13h]

A twilight violety orange-blue.

[#Notion]

I voted before reading anything, and I'm not very surprised to see that red is the predominant color. Rosetta Stoned is a very aggresive song.

[Sanzen]

most of the songs on aenema are bluish-blackish-green



truth

[smeefsmeef]

Most of the ART on Aenima is bluish-blackish-green

[Yondo]

Maybe that's why? I don't actually own the album (shame on me!) but I feel the same. Except add white.

[Gnome_Chomsky]

Listening to the interlude guitar solo thing, I definatly get an orange.

[2-Chaos-2]

Im gonna go with red as well for Rosetta Stoned
Lateralus is a unique one though, during the song i usually go through a sequence of colors, due to the lyrics and sequence of syllables
sometimes i see it just as the lyrics describe -black n white, then some red and yellow- but later on it turns into a mesh of colors with a bright white in the center......i dont know why.

third eye is black and blue

[TurdEye13]

Green

[disaxiom]

wow people agree with me for violet... i have no explanation for it whatsoever, i just think of purple or violet when i hear it

[Terry21]

Violet.

[5th Eye]

I see no colors usually. Rosetta Stoned has 4 different parts to it anyway.

[Yondo]

Looks like Red's winning.

[HelenA]

[magnolia]

I'll get high, re-listen, then vote.

[magnolia]

lol...

[trickma]

Red was the first colour to come to mind, not sure why?

[ColdLogic]

Incredibly, I thought I was the only person this ever happened to. Most music I listen to becomes associated with a color in my head.
And I voted Red. LK/RS is blood-red in my mind.

[Terry21]

ColdLogic, I even associate music to sort of "buildings" or places in my head, not visually, it's strange, I don't see these things, I just feel them when I hear the music. Like my mind needs something it doesn't have when there's just audio. Sometimes these feelings change and I look at the music from a different perspective. Saddly, this erased some personal feelings on some other band's songs and made me look at it like everybody seems to look at the songs.

Yeah I know I'm crazy, lol.

[smeefsmeef]

Purple, but Violet is close enough.

V I O L E T

[tbrent21]

Gray.

"Am I alive or am I dead?"

Was the experience real or was it hallucinated?

Its neither black or white, just...

Gray.

[smeefsmeef]

Gray.

Alive = Red
Dead = Blue

Rosetta Stoned = Violet

[resonance.]

Its a dirty orange with brown undertones. Maynard's vocals are a pukey yellow.

[sysyphus]

nice thread. i voted violet. Third Eye is red to me. It's what i see when i hear the "prying open my third eye" part

Lou Reed - Perfect Day : yellow
Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York : a bright shiny green

[tbrent21]

Alive = Red
Dead = Blue

Rosetta Stoned = Violet


Cool thought.

[mr. nikki jensen]

everytime i hear Rosetta stoned and the lyrics hit "then a flaming stealth banana split the sky ect." I imagine the person from the song looking to the sky. suddently a huge gash of white light split the sky open, and everything around the person turns to red.

i could be awesome to do a animated video for the whole lost keys/rosetta stoned. it would be a awesome story.

[somniferous]

the song, for me of course, starts off in black, fades to bluish greenish, then to redish blackish at the end segments...

I always imagine a real banana coming out. :(

The only Tool song I get any real visual for is Eon Blue Apocalypse.

[slowmo]

I'm thinkin of something... Blue..

Something BLOOO-OOO!!!

[smeefsmeef]

Violet is catching up. Red sucks.

[1350 Days]

Dark blue and red.

[harlequin]

In my opinion it moves around the colour spectrum but I went of oranges due to its more violent nature compared to lost keys

[Slip Away Insanity]

uhhmm IMO you guys are fucking crazy...Colors with Sound?

I mean yeah when i hear Tool songs I See visual things, almost like scenes out of a movie. but its like when you read a book. But ive never actually seen a straight color....yikes...

There is a condition called...right so i don't know the name of it....but people associate colors with music. It's supposed to be rare. I think Mozart had it...or maybe Beethoven. Wait no Beethoven was deaf...


BTW...Rosseta Stoned is definietly a Red song.

[5th Eye]

uhhmm IMO you guys are fucking crazy...Colors with Sound? [...] BTW...Rosseta Stoned is definietly a Red song.I don't think that could be any more contradictory. Thanks.

[rogerdoger]

Same with me.

[somniferous]

"weeping shades of chosen indigo"

[Slip Away Insanity]

I don't think that could be any more contradictory. Thanks.


Idk...I think it was all the red on this page...

[æmoeba•°·.]

•°Fading inlays of orbiting teal, with a backround of static black and almost red, pulsating light, followed by a stunning white flash in certain parts·•.

[this_charming_ross]

RS is defo red

Tool are really the only band i see colours with, but now i think of it every song has an obvious colour. Jambi is yellow, the pot is black, WFM is a dark blue.

and GREY is how u spell it, Gray is a name

[HolyMolyRavioli]

Rosetta Stoned is a mixture of red and black to me.
Third eye is blue and yellow.

Its not at all silly.
Maroon

[Caley]

This is interesting...never thought there would be a clear winner. I thought this post was dumb at first, glad i held my tounge.

[XeonCrash]

I think its a swirling vortex of red and black.

[walkerw8]

a very small percentage of people hear music in colors so i don't know why there'd be a poll about it.

Right, most people don't HEAR colors in music, but many many people associate colors with music. Some people here say they "see" colors with certain songs. Is that really the case, or are y'all saying "see" when you really mean "associate" or maybe "visualize" in your head??

For me, I've never really gotten any colors to this new album. Aenima is a different story though for me.

Stinkfist=bluish purple
Eulogy= Dark Blue
H= Orange
46&2, Jimmy and Pushit= Green
HWa/P= Metallic and Red
Aenema= Dark Dark Blue
Third Eye= Greyish,Whitish, Metallic/Silver

most of the other albums don't really resonnate wiht me in that way, maybe that's why Aenima is my favorite album

some other songs though

Schism- Dark Dark Red
Parabol- A very light Purple, lavender maybe
Parabola and Lateralus- many different colors

Black isn't a color, it's a lack of color! :P
