wwp@yahoogroups.com: audio: colors in unison Caroling Geary 2008-Sep-07 15:01:00
Colors can have audio. Or should I say that audio comes in colors?  
Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for "unison":

"A pair of tones in unison can have different "colors" (timbres),  
i.e. come from different musical instruments or human voices. Voices  
with different colors have, as sound waves, different waveforms.  
These waveforms have the same fundamental frequency but differ only  
in the amplitudes of their higher harmonics."
