If you want even more color than use quarter tone scales common in the
East.

The best example of this is the chromatic scale.   There's more color  
to the sound
when notes outside the diatonic scale are used.

There is also a condition well-known to medicine wherein the subject  
sees a color
in response to a musical note and tone or timbre, "synesthesia."   see
