Is there a term for someone who sees colors when there aren't any? I have a pair of slacks that are as steel grey as steel grey gets. Yet my wife always talks about my brown pants. There isn't a single bit of color ANYWHERE in those pants - just grey, grey, grey. If I were to squint, maybe there is a hint of a blue fiber running through it (you can see the blue fiber when they are inside-out. But nothing even close to resembling brown. No one I ever asks thinks there is any brown. The spectrometer at work in a room lit by broad-spectrum light emitters doesn't show up any of the reds when I measure my pant color. So, is there a term for seeing colors that don't exist? Something the opposite of color blindness?
Synesthesia?
