Deciding on a Project;
So while doing my research, it became clear to me that while having the blank canvas for the children to thrown paint at is a fun idea and they would enjoy it, they would most likely prefer something that they can actually colour in. So I am thinking about changing the project slightly to match this by giving them the option to colour in an image using the application on the phone but still using the sounds to emit a musical tone, kind of paint by sounds thing, so they still have this new way of being introduced to colours.
I also did some research into the wavelengths of colours and interviewed a friend of mine who is studying physics at St Andrews University. He explained to me the differences in the wavelengths and how it is used to pick up the colours and also saying that even colours that we are unable to see have tonal values.
I also found an artist named Niel Harbisson and in June 2012 he appeared on TEDTalks and talked about his colourblindness and how he now hears colours through sounds.
This is the link to the TedTalks he did;

Also this is the wikipedia page I have been using for the tonal values of colours;
