* Most importantly, one can name not only notes but also intervals. As a result, color notation can name scales, chords, chord progressions and even prime subgroups and temperaments.

'''Colorspeak''' is the term for spoken color notation. It's designed to be easily pronounced no matter what one's native language is and also to be very concise; almost every element of colorspeak is one syllable ending with a vowel. The five basic vowels are pronounced {{w|/a/}}, {{w|/ɛ/}}, {{w|/i/}}, {{w|/o/}}, and {{w|/u/}} (as in m'''a''', m'''eh''', m'''e''', m'''ow''', and m'''oo''') by an English speaker, but perhaps differently by others (e.g. for Spanish or Italian speakers may be more familiar with {{w|/e/}} instead of /ɛ/). <y> is {{w|/j/}}. <r> is the "whatever" rhotic, transcribed {{w|/r/}}.
