Color and Sound the Rosetta Stone

Sound especially music and light especially color can influence emotions and even create them as with a sad song or a room with just the right colors or just the right view of a sunset.  That is why non- lethal weapons have been developed using just sound and different colored light. Would it not be possible to graph the different sound and combinations of sounds to show, precisely, what emotions they evoke?  For example a certain combination of notes might evoke a feeling of sadness but not just sadness in general but a particular sadness say a particular type of melancholy, could not those notes be translated into their frequencies and that be used to help define that emotion mathematically?  Could not the same be done with color giving two ways of calculation?
