When Color Meets Sound
Can a color be heard? At IP25 OpenHouse in Curitiba, this question becomes an experience. In collaboration with Mattricaria, Interprint introduces a new dimension to design: transforming color into vibration and sound.
The project applies the Sonic Spectrum of Color, an innovative methodology developed by Mattricaria. Each color’s electromagnetic frequency is translated into a sonic and vibrational expression, creating a multisensory journey that connects visual design with acoustic resonance.
Six Colors, Six Frequencies
The curated palette for IP25 is more than a set of hues—it’s a series of immersive narratives:
Sopro Marinho – a pale blue inspired by ocean breath, resonating with the rhythm of calm waves.
Pulso Etéreo – a soft lilac that echoes crystalline tones, light and expansive.
Fagulha da Terra – an earthy shade that vibrates like the crackle of firewood.
Silêncio da Floresta – a deep green that carries the muted pulse of dense forests.
Aurora Regenerativa – a warm ivory that reflects the first light of dawn.
Som do InvisÃvel – a misty violet, evoking the quiet tension of fog before sunrise.
The Science Behind the Sound
Each color was analyzed by its Pantone code and converted into its electromagnetic frequency (430–740 THz). These values were mathematically transposed into the infrasonic range (4.3–6.4 Hz) and then expanded into audible sound. The process combines color science, acoustics, biomimicry, and cultural sound traditions, resulting in a design language that is both poetic and precise.
Why It Matters
Design is no longer limited to what we see. It’s about what we feel and hear. This collaboration demonstrates how surfaces can communicate through multiple senses—bringing depth, emotion, and innovation to the future of design.
