'''Color notation''' is a [[musical notation]] system for [[just intonation]] interval qualities. Unlike many systems which linearize interval qualities into a scale with steps along it or fail to provide a coherent system of interval qualities at all, color notation takes advantage of just intonation's multi-dimensional structure (similar to a color space) for its model of interval qualities. As such, instead of conventional accidentals or interval qualities, new terms unique to color notation are used instead.

Because interval qualities can be notated with color notation, so can both notes and just intervals themselves. This means that as a result, color notation can name temperaments, scales, chords, progressions, and prime subgroups.
