Chromesthesia – a specific type of synesthesia, in which the person afflicted "sees" colours when a tone (e.g., voice or music) is sounded, almost like fireworks. Most synesthetes report their condition as a gift—an additional hidden sense—something they would not want to miss. Most become aware of their hidden and different way of perceiving in their childhood. Some have learned how to apply this gift in daily life and work.
In what ways could chromesthesia, or any kind of synesthesia, be used in a story? For fantasy, perhaps it is involved in magic, or maybe your character simply sees the world in a different way to others and dealing with that is addressed in the story?
