GUITAR CHORD COLOR ATLAS
Chromatic field study
I wanted to know which chords become the most beautiful—or the most varied—as they move across the neck. What might a song look like? What might it feel like? Those questions led to this experiment.
Every fret is a hexadecimal digit. Every playable chord becomes a color—generated from theory, validated against the instrument.
