I've always heard the term "synaesthesia" used in connection with the tendency some people have to hear specific pitches as specific colors (e.g. F is always red, G is always blue, etc). For such people it gives them a form of absolute pitch. Apparently different people have different color associations: I used to know a woman who had one set of pitch/color associations; her mother had a totally different set.
