Turn colors into chords

Sometimes composing music is a matter of inspiration. A mental image, a memory, a shared moment, a pleasing sight can inspire emotions we try to translate into sound. But how about translating our favorite colors directly into harmonies through the aid of a program?

I’m not sure if this was experimented before and I couldn’t find anything on the subject online or offline, so I decided to share my effort on tackling the task. The program is called “Color to Chord”, it’s free and open source and it’s available for download on this page. The Python script can be run on a mobile device by loading it into a Python app such as QPython.
