Possibly. Although some people are attracted to more mystical explanations. The colour might be triggered by the physical properties of the face, or relate to the persons mood or character traits (Collins, 1929; Riggs & Karwoski, 1934). There are now several cases in the literature of synaesthetes who experience colours for the names of people that they personally know well (Ward, 2004; Weiss et al, 2001).
