Well, I did a poll on who do you think is the founding father of smooth jazz. Now, I decided to do a poll on what color best represents smooth jazz. No, this is not synesthesia, but I think that some people would associate colors with different music genres.

I associate smooth jazz with pink. I just think it is the color that best represents the genre.

This is an interesting thread. Back in the day, I had about 8 shelf feet of lp's. And I had them arranged in a kind of personal "color scheme" which made sense to me - I could find anything quickly. But what was strange was that once I had explained it to a good friend, and then he said "I get it" and was easily able to navigate my collection.

However, you're both wrong I had a large Rolling Stones and blues section and that section was brown, a rich and heavy color. Country music to me would be 50's - 70's with roots and honky tonk included and would be a golden orange. (I don't care for the current corporate pop "country" product.) Smooth jazz, to me would be a very pale gray. Although, I have been tainted because we had a "smooth jazz" format radio station here who's programming seemed to consist of 40 minutes of Kenny G plus two or three Sharday songs (the same damn ones ) each hour. So I am not a fan

It is boring music and boring music is brown.
Pink isn't a mucher better colour.

XM's Watercolors seems to play much more variety than most terrestrial smooth jazz stations FYI.

A deep, soothing burgundy color for me.
