Comment:

In Goethe's theory of colors, when the eye perceives a primary color, it also perceives the other blended and opposite colors. Goethe claimed that, in this way, the human mind constructs the experience on a variety of levels that are not directly indicated by stimuli in the environment. Following him, many musicologists have argued that this "experience" of color might include the association of color/sound. So, if we hear a specific sound, our mind might fill in an appropriate color. So, a small visible spectrum on both sides of this cassette.
