Results of some cut&stretch&align&paste experiment after an Altavista image search "light spectrum". After all, colors of visible spectrum cover the vibrations from, say, 1000, up to twice that much, their range is one octave. By doubling frequencies of twelve piano keys it was attempted to reach into color range and find the correspondeng values.

585 Hz is yellow, it is a well-known double line in Na-spectrum. That also means that those gentlemen from CIE IEEE color comission have got something wrong, or the guy who kindly wrote a program for one or two of those six included spectra got something wrong which I doubt. One of those spectra is also way off the mark, you can easily see which. One of them shows magenta hues on the red end. But overall, it is still possible to build a convincing model.

B and C must be assigned yellowish green or green color. D is indubitably blue. If something is bluish-blue than this is D. C sharp is greenish-blue, you cannot much err about that. A knocks at warm red color or orange-red. G is reddish red, F Sharp, if still visible, even more so. E flat could be indigo or something. Then E must be violet-violet-violet. And then everything is pitch-black and in that darkness somewhere is F.

Yes. Good honest orange is not in the tone scale, not even if half-tones are included. Alchemy, the art of making gold, would then seek it between that B flat and that missing orange. In Bach's times, when 415 Hz was counted A, this was somewhere below B instead.

Speculating and assigning DO to C, we could say that Nature, perhaps via limitations of our sight, cuts or breaks the circle of recurring octaves at MI-FA interval. Interval SI-DO falls then at greenish-green, spring-leaf to summer-leaf green color.

If such well-maybe-it-is-between-that-and-that were the standard in music, everybody could hear that it is false, moreover, music as we know it would not be possible.

There are three possibilities:
- phosphori for screens are not very good at approximating natural hues
- what is written in our school textbooks is wrong
- guys in those standardizing comitees invent new wrong standard every two years

There is fourth:
- mankind is still in its infancy regarding science of color

Color is very high frequency, compared to sound. This must be very small atoms with little mass and a lot of vibration.

It seems that color is very much connected with heat and temerature. The higher the temperature the redder is radiating body. Then more yellow. Very hot bodies appear white, there are all colors present, all the notes and all in-betweens are struck at once. Our sun has surface temperature of about 6000K. This would mean that if zero is where water freezes and an hundred where it boils, then sun surface is rouhly 60 times hotter. Frequency peak of radiated intensity distribution lies at 860 nm and wavelength peak at 490 nm, bluish-violet or bluish-green. It is sad but it is in the nature of things that it cannot be determined exactly where the most power goes off into space. Still, in any case, it is in the visible spectrum, exactly where tiny color octave of human sight is placed.

Logarithm of frequency alias logarithm of wavelength is a natural choice for intensity distribution to decide that question. Older people sneer much at it (Nature takes a pocket calculator and calculates logarithms) but this is how we hear sounds and probably also see color. If logarithms were taken, those Hz's you see on the picture would be equally spaced. This is how we hear. Now the peak is one and the same, and they say it falls near 560 nm, where, so they say, the human eye is most sensitive. This is light green, yellowish green. It is of course questionable how that highly interesting highly precise retinal fact was decided, probably another comitee. But it is very likely to be true to some extent. At the edges everything dissolves into darkness, more accurately, eye cannot see anymore. It is logical that eye sees best in the middle.

What thought strikes us involuntarily? Well, if sun was not made for the eye then eye was made for the sun. Of the thirteen notes, the 560 peak would go close to the seventh note, close to B. In other words, close to SI. But then others say that temperature is not 6000 K but 5000 K, those peaks are shifted to the red end and we are where we were, we know nothing.

In the Ray of Creation, notes are so placed that SOL is in the middle. Sun is the fire radiating light and giving heat, SOL is surrounded by LA and FA. Now our sound conventions are such that darknesss surrounding visible spectrum is at the place of FA or MI-FA interval (if it is not, then it is rightful place of those most violet, purple tinges). The visible spectrum itself, if we cover it with thirteen notes of complete F-next F octave, is centered around seventh note, B. If we take established convention for solmization, that would be SI, DO, or SI-DO interval. It is hard to decide when everything is more or less green.

So, moving towards psychologal side, on upper side of the source we have light, next, vision, sight, then slowing down of vibration, building of systems, systematizing what we have seen, all kinds of seizing around, transforming impressions received, not received passively like light at la; and then the observer, the onlooker, the very one who sees the source.

I approach that going through green stage of valuation, blue applying of the work ideas to myself, violet tinges of experiencing difficulties, what difficulties, real trouble, through self-remembering and non-identifying I begin to feel something, you could say heat of the source, though seeing nothing yet. As soon as one comes above that plane, something definitely new begins to emerge, at least the spectrum shows that. It is a red new start.

-------------

Tradition has it that there are seven colors. If you look at the spectrum nothing seems to indicate that at first sight. But let's try. I'll use one of those standardized diagrams because the spectra I'd assemble are no good for that. The data are wrong to some extent anyway, so let them be wrong according to some standard. I wish I had those optical instruments and camera obscura, let sun in, verify for myself and determine these colors.

do - bright green
(bluish green)
re - blue
(between blue and purple, indigo)
mi - purple
----------here; the circle ends and begins anew!
fa - pitchblack darkened reddish-purple
(darkened purplish red)
sol - red, fundamentally red (mixed with white gives pink)
(red is red is red, what the hell do I know)
la - orange-red
(finally no doubt - perfect ripe yellow, maybe slightly orange yellow)
si - (between yellowish green and yellow green, so says the diagram)
----------here; nothing special, lots of green

Gold located between la and si. It is said that very finely thinned gold goes towards green, si, light comes from the other side too. I've never seen it myself. Also, the third schock from Beelzebub located between sol and la; nothing special: except lots of red.

1.On the diagram, yellow green is more towards greenish yellow than yellowish green. And greenish yellow is more towards yellow than yellow green. And then (after greenish yellow) comes yellow. And then comes 580 nm. And then B flat proudly ushers orange yellow zone which quickly turns orange, which zone is governed and ruled by the mark 590 nm. Just to give you a feeling. Heated bodies begin to become visible at 600 nm, reddish orange. Then they go whiter and whiter. Flames is another story.

Now, the leaves. It seems that they are somewhere at SI when they appear in the spring. Then they go darker and darker as if they wanted to reach C#, bluish green. Then something happens and the leaf goes pale, crosses the SI-DO interval and goes downwards, showing autumn hues. Ideally, it becomes red, then dark. It never crosses MI-FA but rather vanishes in that darkness, becoming soil again. Pfosphorescent fungy decay goes deeper down the scale, light for lower world.

Generally, C# to E is rarely seen in plant(animal kingdom). Excepting flowers at that, the crown of plant development. Butterflies and bird feathers in animal kingdom too. Here is nobility and rarity. Copyright: sky. Blue blood, they say.

From E flat on nature in general will be scarce, not even sky or screen phosphori will divulge it readily. Perhaps when rainbow appears. Here is mystery. I would personally beware of types who say there is no poetry and no mystery. Quite correct, if there is sin against Holy Ghost than this is its indication.
