Synesthesia (in Greek, the joining of the senses) is a phenomenon in which activation of one sensory reaction involuntarily causes another.  I actually have this.  In my case, when I hear music, I often perceive a color as well.  I have iTunes playlists categorized by color.  There are various types of synesthesia, such as seeing letters or numbers as colors, some people can even taste sounds or colors. I also remember when I was a kid that certain street signs affected my mood.  But it could also be possible that my mom was dosing my juice boxes with LSD.

A team of astronomers at Johns Hopkins University have determined the color of the universe by averaging the spectral range of light in the universe.  The resulting color is a beigeish white.  The naming of the color was voted on by the astronomers, and those hilarious scientists chose “Cosmic Latte.”  Other suggestions were Cosmic Khaki, Primordial Clam Chowder, Skyvory, and Cosmic Cream.  I think they should have just called it “Pasty Astronomer’s Flesh.”
