Sometimes if a video contains colors that are outside of the safe NTSC color 
gamut the screen will make audible buzzes.  I don't know if PAL video does 
the same thing.  I think this usually occurs with really bright saturated 
colors (mostly red?).  I don't know how this relates to the frequencies 
involved either.

Also, if you're willing to look outside of mathematical frequency 
relationships to something more arbitrary there are a lot of theories 
linking sound and color, mostly of a theosophical nature.  Stanton Macdonald 
Wright, Scriabin, etc.  Probably not what you're looking for though.
