Is that anything like synesthesia?
"syn⋅es⋅the⋅sia
[sin-uhs-thee-zhuh] –noun
a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color."

I've also heard it referred to as sensory reversal, wherein one "hears colors" and "sees sounds" but that definition was courtesy of the Peter Himmelman album of the same name. (Great album BTW)
