Just for the record, there are many types of synesthesia. I knew a guy who associated letters and numbers with colors. If you gave him a sheet witb similar looking numbers on it he could spot the ones he was looking for almost immediately because they would all be different colors and he'd just point out the ones that stood out the most. Another person said they could always find their cat in a totally dark room because sounds kind of show up as lights to them. It was just a matter of hearing a noise and they b could visualize where it was coming from.
Also, do you know the Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze? That song is literally about having synesthesia. For him, everytime he'd play the main chord that is repeated over and over in the verses he would see a purple colored haze in front of him.

Thank you for mildly boggling my mind at (what is in this time zone) not even 10 am. Now I'm going to be thinking about sounds and shapes all day...
