Yes, I also hear colors, although it is not a fine as individual
frequencies. I hear chords as colors. Highly consonant chords tend to be
'heard' as primary colors, while increasing dissonance tends to mute the
colors. Also songs, because of their implied harmonies, tend to have
predominant colorings although certain passsages may lapse into transient
colorings.
