I have a hard time remembering names. Instead I recall colors

As the headline states, I'm often forgetting people's names. It's always been this way for many years. However, I realized that I just heavily recall colors. My partner recently asked me if I recalled the name of a restaurant. All I could recall is the color temperature of the place (it had some salmon orange colors).

I am familiar with the topic of synesthesia but I'm not sure if I have it. I may or may not. However, I never assumed my memory for colors is at all related. I quick Google search presented some possibly false claim that it is related (it was an AI generated response).

Does anyone know if what I'm describing has any relation to synesthesia?
