Synathesia is the quality of being able to see words or numbers in color. My mother in law had this. She saw colors associated with names, and numbers both I think. It is estimated up to 4 percent of people have this phenomenon. It is associated with different neural connections. I think they have more of them. It seems as though it would be a fun ability to have.

There was a woman I know at this medical thing I went to that had that, and who could “taste” names. I had to ask her about mine, and she said it tasted like a cherry slush.

Probably a variation on a theme.It's interesting whatever it is.
