Can I learn chromesthesia?
With enough repetition and practice, can I condition myself to associate colors with certain pitches?
Note: I am talking about a relative pitch here, within a certain key . . . so assigning colors to scale degrees. I am not seeking to acquire absolute pitch.
Thanks!

Yes, you probably could.
When I was a student at London's Royal Academy of Music my pastoral tutor was a lady called Margaret Hubicki. I didn't know it at the time, but she invented the 'Colour-staff' system of notation, aimed at helping people with dyslexia read music. Seems similar to what you're asking for. If they could do it, I expect you can too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Hubicki
