    I came here to post the exact same thing. Specifically on a Bb blues.

    I like the blue notes...

    For those that have never read the Interview with John McLaughlin by Robert Fripp, they devolve into a discussion about colors...

    Fripp: That D major chord which changed you from a pianist to a guitarist, what color would that be for you?
    McLaughlin: What color...? (pause) I think it could be green.
    Fripp: Exactly what I would've said...
    McLaughlin: It's got to be yellow and some blue.
    Fripp: A major for me is yellow and A minor inclines toward white, which is my C major. Graham Bond said it was red.
    McLaughlin: C major, red? No, E major, I would say, is red.
    Fripp: E major for me is very blue, a kind of royal blue, and when you get to E minor it becomes more of a night blue, with kind of stars...
    McLaughlin: That's very interesting...
    Fripp: G is very greenish, but not quite.

    Whatever note I pick my favorite might be a half a step away.

    McLaughlin is correct. Fripp is wrong.

    John's roommate (pianist) Katia LeBeque might have known, but they didn't ask her... she looks very musical to me.

    I voted D as my first favorite note because it sounds so beautiful to my ears, no matter what chord I’m playing over.

    My second favorite is C# with the same motivation as above.

    D and C# together (major 7 interval)=
