About Free Soundtrack Music Color Tones Track Search

Can music be described with reference to colors? Probably not with any real degree of accuracy, but for some who may find the text descriptions at FSM can get too long-winded, a simple color code may be a welcome alternative. This new feature of the FSM Stock Music Library search engine allows film and video producers to find matches for their music requirements based on colors. Colors have long been associated with moods and much has been written about how specific colors effect human emotions (and human psychology in general). The descriptive terms matched with each color in the color chart above are derived from a survey of literature from different disciplines - but ultimately emotional associations will be subjective.

For a more in-depth, academic discussion of the connection between colour and music which includes historical references and some explanation of music theory, check out Ian C. Firth's website on the subject: musicandcolour.net.

Colors: How do they effect and represent moods?

Remember "The Mood Ring"?:
FSM site visitors "of a certain age" or older may remember a fad gadget making the rounds in popular culture in the 1970s. Mood rings were largely a gimmick worn by school age kids, but it is interesting to note that in the process of researching the possible ways in which music can be described by color tones, many of the sites encountered seemed to be in reference to these fun toys. Check out these sites which present a number of different charts and graphs to categorize colors into moods and vice versa:
