Chopin's music always sounds like Chopin's music. Had he lived in the 21st Century, I wonder if he would have a propensity for dark background on web pages.
I associate major keys with lighter colors and minor keys with darker colors, and keys with many flats/sharps with darker colors than keys with few accidentals. I'm particularly enamored with Chopin's music that's in C# minor and Bb minor. I can't explain why.
On the other hand, I also enjoy tunes in F minor and Dorian mode. My color associations with Greek modes roughly follow their parallel major keys.
