Detailed explanation-1: -Synesthesia is a neurological condition that causes certain stimuli to trigger more than one sense. There are many different types of synesthesia that refer to a whole range of senses and stimuli. So you could see the color blue (using your visual sense), but also be able to taste or smell it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synesthesia is a neurological condition where information that’s meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several. You might “see” music as colors and “taste” textures like “round” or “pointy” when you eat foods.

Detailed explanation-3: -Russell: In olfactory-visual synesthesia, when the synesthete smells an odor, they perceive it as inherently colored. So, for one synesthete, caramel was a kind of purply color with blue and brown blobs, while for another, caramel was a blue pentagram with yellow dots in the corners.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromesthesia or sound-to-color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which sound involuntarily evokes an experience of color, shape, and movement. Individuals with sound-color synesthesia are consciously aware of their synesthetic color associations/perceptions in daily life.

Detailed explanation-5: -Surprising as it may seem, there are people who can smell sounds, see smells or hear colours. One person out of every thousand has synesthesia, a psychological phenomenon in which an individual can smell a sound or hear a color.
