Album Color Association Survey

[terusama 4,429]

I think this topic crops up sporadically, what colors we associate with the albums. due to my love of data I decided to make a google form to record responses and produce cool graphs from.

 

Here is a link to the survey.

I think the topic itself is fun in a horoscope-y kind of way. since the survey's color categories are really broad, i think it would be fun for people to post examples of the colors they think of (like really close matches from google images or somewhere).

Really interesting that a lot of people said UV was black, I chose black as well! 

[Nick Del Rey 5,277]

I guess everyone think's of yellow with AKA because of the cover, I said navy because i listen to AKA at night and it makes me think of a night sky idk 

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,036]

AKA: Gold

Born to Die: Red, but different shades throughout the album-- bright, bold red, paler red, deep, dark reds, even almost pink

Paradise: Green

Ultraviolence: Deep, dark blues-- either navy or a royal blue

Honeymoon: Purple

Despite my color associations not fully matching, I could see how her references to nail polish in each album could be indicative of people's color associations

I based my decisions on the overall atmosphere of the album, not lyrics or the covers like some people did. Like, it's all subjective but they probably went like: She says "yellow" in yayo --> AKA is yellow
