Colors

Warm or Cool

Using Spotify's valence measurement, the colors in your fractal will either be warm (high valence) or cool (low valence).

"Tracks with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while tracks with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry)."

Light or Dark

Using Spotify's energy measurement, the colors of your fractal will either be light (high energy) or dark (low energy).

"Energetic tracks feel fast, loud, and noisy. For example, death metal has high energy, while a Bach prelude scores low on the scale."

Black or White

Depending on the general modality of songs in your playlist, the colors of your fractal will either include white (major key) or black (minor key).

"Mode indicates the modality (major or minor) of a track, the type of scale from which its melodic content is derived. Major is represented by 1 and minor is 0."
