Re: Perfect Pitch/Equal Temperament

I have perfect hue when it comes to the light spectrum, but don't have perfect pitch when it comes to the sound spectrum.

I can recognize violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
I can't recognize the individual wavelengths (frequencies), but rather recognize a range of frequencies as a certain color.

Can anyone out there with perfect pitch tell me what happens when a pitch
changes frequency? When does an "A" turn into a "Bb"?

438 = A ?
440 = A ?
446 = A ?
460 = ?
470 = ?

Does every note have a letter name or do some fall between ?

John
