Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia is a type of synesthesia where individuals experience colors in response to sounds, such as music or specific words. It occurs because the brain's sensory regions are interconnected, causing auditory stimuli to trigger visual experiences. People with chromesthesia might see a particular hue or pattern when hearing a certain note, instrument, or word. This blending of senses is involuntary and consistent for each person. While it's rare, it offers a unique way of perceiving the world, often enriching the individual's sensory experience and creativity.
