I've always been able hear colors and textures in music and peoples' voices and that it wasn’t normal, but I didn’t know there was actually a name for what I was experiencing. Synesthesia literally means the combining of the senses. When a normal person perceives something, it’s only with one sense. For synesthetes, one sense will automatically and involuntarily trigger another.
My sound-color synesthesia triggers colors, shapes and textures when I hear music and voices. One example is the voice of a classmate that's a sticky mixture of fluorescent pink and orange.
