This is a really interesting topic... I have never focused too heavily on it, but yes, music does bring to mind various colors... and like you, Jondalar, the cover art probably does influence this for me as well.

1. Bella Donna - white & shades of purple/blue - strange, since there's so much black on the cover, but the title track in particular feels white. Then of course, there's the lyrics "White-winged dove". There is also the stark contrast of what she's wearing to the black background. "After The Glitter Fades", however, feels like black and gold (all that glitters is gold! ;p) "How Still My Love" - very blue

2. The Wild Heart - deep purple - heavily influenced by the cover; specific tracks vary though: "Nightbird" & "I Will Run To You" = blue; "If Anyone Falls" = gold; "Enchanted" = yellow; "Stand Back" & "Nothing Ever Changes" = maroon

3. Rock a Little - equal parts purply blue and yellow - the title track in particular is very blue; "If I Were You" & "Some Become Stangers" - more pinky-purple; "The Nightmare" - green comes to mind for some odd reason lol; "Sister Honey" is definitely yellow (amber honey?)

4. The Other Side of the Mirror - equal part red and black - again, cover-influence; "Long Way To Go" - definitely red; allusions to fire bring red to mind ("Fire Burning" & "Rooms On Fire"); "Two Kinds Of Love" is very much gold for me; "Ghosts" is more yellow; "Juliet" & "Alice" have a bit of a green feel to me

5. Timespace - this one is tough because of the inclusion of previous material, but I guess I'd go with gold and blue (hmm.. cover art? lol)

6. Street Angel - pink - hard to escape that color here! "Blue Denim", however, feels very brown (why not blue? who knows); "Street Angel" = black; "Love Is Like A River" = chartreuse

7. TISL - earth tones, so I'll go with brown, but some songs feel like gold too. "Love Changes" feels orange to me; "Bombay Sapphires" is distinctly blue/green (and no, I don't connect it with the drink "Bombay Sapphire" lol!) <-- I had to look that up out of curiosity and was amused to see the color fit perfectly! "Sorcerer" = yellow; "Every Day" is green.

8. Crystal Visions - compilations are hard for me to peg...an off-white or cream color comes to mind...not sure why.

9. Soundstage - very blue

10. In Your Dreams - ??? - however "Secret Love" feels like sunny yellow & misty pink to me

I definitely agree here... was thinking the same thing before I read this!
