Is this something similar to what the site https://144notes.org/ tries to do? Color the pitches?

Not really. 2 crucial differences: first, it’s the degree of the scale (I, ii, III…) that’s given a colour rather than the note name (C, D, E…), meaning the colouring is independent of the key (or octave) it is written in or transposed into. Secondly, the colours used are designed to be similar where their harmonic ‘meaning’ is similar (according to traditional Western music) and vice versa.
