Chromesthesia is a type of in which a nonvisual stimulus causes the individual to perceive color. is a form of chromesthesia. In color hearing, a musical tone elicits a color. One well-studied case involved an art teacher who had a range of consistent links between tone and color. For her, high octaves tended to cause a lighter color value, while lower octaves caused a darker color value. And rapid major chord tone sequences elicited rapid flashes of colors, "somewhat like fireworks exploding."
An example of a singer's vocal color would be Glass Animal's singer Dave Bayley, whose voice to me sounds like a light blue when he sings. I've never actually heard him speak so I can't give too much more info than that.
Every person pictures a person's voice differently. Some actually see the colors while others just associate them like me. Every person also hears different colors for peoples voices so where I hear light blue for good ol' Dave, someone else might picture it as a deep red.
