Is it normal to associate people with colors

All my life I have always associated people with colors. Usually the colors are very specific and vivid. Sometimes the they come in combinations like I associate my brother with blue and white in a stripped pattern. I should note this pretty much only happens to people I have met in person. Also these colors only very rarely change, and usually only change if my perception of the person changed substantially. Ie a friend who proved untrustworthy went from a sort of washed our forest green, to a shade of gray almost black.

Is It Normal?

    • yeah just a color, but always a specific shade of the color. Idk to me its not weird. But I was talking to a friend last night and he thought it was strange.

  • That's not what I would consider normal, but it's very cool. I often associate people with animals, or shapes.

  • Seems like an unusual ideasthesia.

    I have something similar, where I can ascribe colors to certain songs/melodies. But people-color-ideasthesia is something I haven't heard of before.
