I always kind of envisaged the album colours as relating to both the cover art and an emotional theme, as follows:
HAARHT - Firetruck Red / Anger
Ocean Machine - Blue / Love
City - Black & Red / Hate, Devastation
Infinity - White / Self-Awareness, God
Physicist - Grey / Introspection, Ambivalence
Terria - Brown & earth tones / Nature
SYL - Blood Red / War, Intolerance
Accelerated Evolution - Silver / Reflection
Synchestra - Green & earth tones / ??? (not sure about theme yet, postponing judgement until I hear the album)

Me and my friend used to label songs as colors. I usually always picture most of the songs to be the color of the album.
I'm guessing Synchestra will be silver and gold, but it's only a guess

Wow dude, same thoughts as me on the colour definitions.
each album seems to generate its own feeling, own colour and own ambience.
Devin is prolly one of the only artists that is able to do that for me

Good intereptation dude, I can see the same in those albums aswell, I think all the albums have a certain feeling toward them when you pick it up and have a look at the cover.
It seems that SYL use more darker and molodic colours like reds, blacks and is very chaotic and random.
While Dev uses a montage of colours, greens, blues, silver, browns his not affaired to express his feeling on the cover and give abit of tranquility to the booklet...which is good, becasue then all of us know what to expect when we pick the booklet.

You could say it's much the same as "City", using black and red to express random choas to an extent in which "City' did when you first look at it.

I think that without knowing it, most people will associate the music with the colors of the cover art. I know I do...I think to myself "AE sounds silver-bluish" or "infinity sounds white" but really it's just impossible to get that out of your head once you see the artwork. It seems like this is true with most people's interpretations even in this thread. Also, names of songs and albums affect my view of the colors too...I mean with a title like ocean machine and titles like Seventh Wave, how can you not think of blue? Just my thoughts...obviously this isn't the case for a few people here...city as pink? Awesome!
I wouldn't really rate Infinity white. I know the outside, the cover, is white but the music itself is all but plain white. It's multi-colored and keeps changing all the time.
But I guess quite often the color of the cover does match the music, since the musical artist will at least tell the graphic artist in what direction to think, and the composer should know the color of the music as no other. Also, I think the graphic artist will get to hear the album a couple of times before making the cover, so he doesn't make something completely unfitting.

Back when Synchstra was called Human, Devin said it was dark green.
