To study visualizations for music, we arranged a set of online questionnaires on how people map various visual properties to certain musical attributes. This paper presents the results of a questionnaire that concentrated on how people map colours to musical genres. The participants were shown 12 colours one at a time, and asked which of listed 18 genres they associated with the given colours. The results suggest that it is not possible to design a globally accepted colour-genre mapping. Instead, the music player could be set-up with a default mapping that is most suitable for the given country or region
