Well, sounds like synesthesia is the active ingredient here.

Check links Bob, the Goethe one does not exist directly.

I agree.

The majority of people with synesthesia are musicians, be they instrumentalists or composers/songwriters, and also some film/stage actors. Among the most commonly recently known people with this condition are Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Marilyn Monroe, Patrick Stump and John Mayer.


There are various forms of synesthesia, one of which, chromesthesia, is a neurological condition affecting about 1% of the world population. Individuals with this condition involuntarily associate the sounds they hear with certain colours. There is no agreement about which type of colour is evoked by a particular sound because this varies from one person to the other.

New words to me.

Hi Kevin

Links were checked and worked fine on three sites--this site here truncated the link.

I repaired it.

I have to agree with the comment in the first link; "Though these writings often contradict each other as to what these characteristics actually are...."
