Definitely. Since you already see something, if I was you I’d just use it the way I see it.
Not sure how that relates....I think you’re bored and just $hitting on the topic
Yeah for you, stick with that.

Which Colors Correspond With Which Notes???

What are you talking about? I am minding my own stuff. This a thread I started to talk about something that I find interesting. If you’re not here to contribute? Then why are you here? Ive been deleted and warned for posting dumb pointless off topic stuff before so I’m not sure what you’re doing telling me that I need to watch my own stuff.
Would you like different wording?
I think you’re bored and just railroading this thread with off topic trains. Since you seem to like the reference point of trains.
Actually who cares you’re just keeping the thread in sight so thanks....I guess

Whaaa? Colors? Why not visualize notes as types of insects, or perhaps the relative lengths of McDonalds french fries. If someone visualizes sounds as colors, it is unique to their imaginations or, if they are savants, unique to their physiology, such as when numbers are interpreted as colors. Trying to define such things in absolutes is rather pointless and it has nothing to do with the relative length of light waves or sound waves.
So I reckon the lowest note would be represented by the potentater, and the highest note would be represented by the minutater...
More food for thought: the discovery of the above track, found here, flowed from the curious recollection of a famous book, Gödel, Escher, and Bach. It strays from the OP considerably but zeros in somewhat on some immense challenges that find a purchase here — primarily relating to perception. Here, there's also tempo and pitch causing havoc with the head and, as such, it's an interesting litmus test. I don't see colors shifting but I do get more and more riled as the thing winds up
I guess, I see red, in that sense 
Douglas Hofstadter’s Pulitzer-winning book had a huge impact on the study of various intelligences, when he published it — perhaps even more interesting now, as we move into an age where many of those historical challenges are being felt out, and sometimes without the human comprehension we then imagined we might require for the adequate resolution of problems of intelligence.
Troy's track's interesting, maybe, for testing the ear's perception relative to color perception, imagining, the mind's eye, the psyche, etc., moving through the octaves. But, for me, it generates moods, more than colors
Synesthetes may get a bang out of it.A couple of other explorations: Is there any chromatic analogue of the Shepard tone? seems to be hitting the mark. Some other experiments, like the so called Blue Diamonds Optical Illusion, reflect similar imaginings. And Generating Shepard and Risset tones looks with a more mathematical eye into some of the detail.
I won't be fielding any questions here, on these tangents. All this is way beyond my pay-grade. Not that I don't find it interesting, it's just that my ignorance is truly profound and I wouldn't be any help whatsoever. I've not spent enough time on the subject. It is fascinating though, all these loop de loops, the chicanery of color perception, and random blendings of awarenesses. I wonder what quantum physics might bring to the table. I think maybe we bipedal creatures have been dulled somehow to the more subtle depths of perception, some of us at least. I'd love to have a bird's eye view of all this

I read Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach -its connecting Math, Escher's visualizing and Bach mastering it in music, but no word about this thread's theme. -Same as sounds, light is emitted in waves (Hz) but the similarity ends with the light's double nature being wave and matter in one; sound is lacking this conclusive propriety for a rational explanation here (go quantum physics) ... that's probably why we have eyes and ears, afaik this perceptions cannot be mixed.

Wow thank you for your unique input...you’ve been very helpful.
I just don’t get what you’re saying or contributing. I am seriously considering this. I find it interesting and potentially helpful...
You have made a few interesting comments but I think you’re just messing around.
I just get the theme by its rational basics while you show up being kinda stuborn on your guess. What you call messing is just keeping physical facts in view. As i mentioned already, this two proprieties cannot be mixed nor derived one from another; or we could also start a discussion on the smell of music ... *_*
If we are to discuss the odor of music, the conversation, at some point, must undoubtedly address the brown note...
Why do i have the impression, that it's you the destructive part in this discourse? You can't stop getting ***** in your postings ... i just try to be rational: there can't be that any touching point in music/colors, all other must remain a very personal interpretation, but it finds no reasonable background in sciences. And there's plenty of tries throughout history ... i'm pretty familiar with physics, logics, analytics and its conclusions, and believe me (or not), i'm very gifted in.
