Confused since pitch and frequency in my mind are the same thing. I googled around and there is precious little about this that I could find to enlighten me ... uses a pair of FFT's or some such.

It's probably note within octave, so 55, 110, 220, 440, 880, etc. would all get colored as "A".
Yep, that's the idea.
