The reason I am getting in here is because of the color organs
I used to build. probably has nothing to do with your question.
I used to assign bassy frequencies to deep purple colors. On
up the scale would be more deep colors, red, darker blues and
greens. The colors lighten up and go to yellows and almost whites
at the higher frequencies.

Perhaps DRUGS can cause this? Maybe a crisscrossing of nerves.
Why is it when I'm chewing some hard candy and look at my monitor,
I see some flashes and blanks on the screen? Perhaps the sound can
modulate or interfere with the optic nerves or retina? Perhaps
the people who see colors are just using some brain functions a
little strangely.
