Yes, I would like to know how you can have the same color and Vastly different Beats. I dont know how I can use the color ID with the large variances in BPM /same color. I want to have confidence that beatunes is giving me the correct BPM but if the color to BPM is so different for same BPM, it makes me think the BPM may be incorrect. Please help.

   Hi Ron,

   color and BPM are two entirely different concepts.
   Color is about how a song sounds, but not its tempo.
   BPM on the other hand is only about a song's tempo.

   So in essence a song with lots of percussion and guitars will have a
   very different color than an a capella song, while the BPM may be the
   same (even though the BPM of a capella pieces is close to impossible
   to determine).

   Hope this helps,

   -hendrik
