Ah yes, the sound of rain on a tin roof, of a flock of birds overhead, a city that never sleeps, the color green, …
What? Colors do not make sounds, we hear you say. And sure enough, sitting in front of a bucket of paint will not do much with regards to audible pleasure.
But what if we tell you that there is a way to listen to colors. At least kind of.
What Does Green Sound Like?

In reverse, sounds of nature should make you feel – or well, listen to – green.
Sounds Of Frogs
Typically, frogs are also associated with the color green, at the very least to the very famous frog-slash-M

This is also closely related to a leafy plant: green tea. We have explored the effects of coffee shop
