Color noise is an umbrella term for steady‑state, spectrally shaped noise used as an end in itself for listening, masking, sleep, focus, and relaxation. Instead of musical melodies or beats, it presents continuous sound with a specific spectral tilt ("color") such as white (flat spectrum), pink (−3 dB per octave), brown or brownian (−6 dB per octave), blue (+3 dB per octave), violet (+6 dB per octave), and gray (psychoacoustically equal‑loudness shaped). As a listening genre, color noise emphasizes function and timbral nuance over song form: seamless loops, stable loudness, extremely low dynamic range, and gentle filtering. It sits at the intersection of sound design, psychoacoustics, audio engineering, and wellness media, and is commonly delivered via long streams, playlists, and apps rather than traditional albums.
