What is Voice → Color Synesthesia?
The sound of a person's voice — its timbre, pitch, and quality — triggers the perception of specific colors. Each person's voice has its own 'signature' color. A deep baritone might appear dark red, while a light soprano looks pale yellow. The color can change as vocal qualities shift.
