    I've read about color being used in relation to not only notes but
    tone- ie; EVH has a "brown" sound.

    I know that there are cources that teach the use of colors for pitch recognition.

    I'm shade blind. I've been told I recognize blue and green because I've learned to, not
    that I'm really seeing them "normally". It could explain many of the bad notes I've played?

    I've been told my playing invokes a "brown" response...

    I tried doing a Crystal Gayle cover,  but it came out as "Don't it make my blue eyes brown"

    The natural ability to do this is called synesthesia.  I've got a course that talks about seeing colors with pitch ("Perfect Pitch" by David Lucas Burge - he also has one called "Relative Pitch"), however I've yet to really be able to do it.  That classical pianist we had a big thread about (Helene Grimaud) has full-blown natural synesthesia that she talks about in an interview.

    "It was when I was eleven, and working on the F sharp major Prelude from the first book of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier - I perceived something that was very bright, between red and orange, very warm and vivid: an almost shapeless stain, rather like what you would see in the recording control-room if the image of sound were projected on a screen. But as numbers had always had colours for me - two was yellow, four was red, five was green - and as I have always found music evocative, I didn't regard this as unusual. It was more the idea of colour than colour itself. Certain pieces always project me into a particular colour-world. Sometimes it's a result of the tonality - C minor is black, and D minor, the key that has always been closest to me, being the most dramatic and poignant is blue."


    From Credo - Hélène Grimaud interviewed by Michael Church.

    Wow, just looking at a list of people with that condition (which includes the quote above) and there are a few of interest:  Tori Amos, Billy Joel and Eddie Van Halen included!
