Key... Color Chart?

I once saw a chart type thing that gave a sort of discription to the tone and "color" of every major and minor key. I'm curious if anyone has this (since I lost it) and also if there is one about EVERY key, like C mixolydian and D phrygian etc.

Also, how would you label keys in your own words? You wouldn't have to list all of them, just ones you want.

I would say this:

C major- the purest key, free of all flaws, a happy, joyful, playful key.

Db Major- very big and robust and beautiful (i.e. Un Sospiro (Liszt) and many things such as Clair de Lune by Debussy) a key that can be sort of two-faced, beautiful and gorgeous one moment, then the next moment ugly and very dissonant.

Eb Major- very fanfare-ish, like the king coming into town, or maybe santa coming to town. Very happy

C# Minor- a dark, gloomy character. One that is longing for happiness but can't seem to find it.

what about ya'll?

Here's one!

I don't think the colors actually... uh.. mean anything.

well i used that for the lack of a better word :P

As to specific colors being used to represent pitches: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/synesthesia-17317-4.html#post264093

There's a whole metric poo-ton of threads on synesthesia.

Also, I think we're well past the "requisite" affects of each key -- if it works for you, bully! But it's a terribly personal system, and I'd say limiting when you're composing, since it ignores more psychoacoustically important factors. The whole concept of "the blues " turns much of the affect of a key on its head, with its subversion of happy and sad.

This is absurd, all major keys are the same, all minor keys are the same

F sharp is green - the only colour i can hear
