Maybe, these researches are not so helpful for us in design but the concept is that: color is a very wonderful element. It seems like with color you can express anything you want in your works. I found it really interesting and unpredictable when I did the researches on color.
Let's enjoy some unbelievable miracle of color.

from Visual Sound...

Conflicted between a career in music and painting, Klee, a trained violinist, eventually chose painting. So music had a special influence on him. He made use of visual musical notes to "draw" his artworks. He believed that music could be translated quite directly into gradations of color and value, repetitions and changes of motif.

He made use of visual polyphony to "compose" many paintings, such as Plant Growth. Here he takes several shapes - equivalent to musical thematic material—such as circles, squares, and ovals, and develops them through intricate layers, in various sizes, colors, and placements. His composition of stacked forms here looks like decks of cards or color swatches, are attempts to freeze time in a static composition, to give visual feeling of lovely melodies.

One of the most abstract paintings, the wonderfully titled Ancient Sound, is composed of rough but precise squares of color, gray-green, earth-dark and black near the edges, jade, orange, vanilla and pale yellow at the center, all tilting very slightly to the right. For most of us, clear and bright colors make us think of high sounds, while dark images suggest low sounds. And like above, the composition of shapes and colors in this painting also is used to inform viewers of sound.
