Sound of Colors is a 2001 Taiwanese children's picture book written and illustrated by Jimmy Liao. The Chinese title means "subway", and the book follows a blind girl's imaginations as she rides the city's rapid transit. The book was translated to English by Sarah L. Thomson and published in 2006 as The Sound of Colors. Reception Publishers Weekly wrote the book "offers a meditation on blindness that will stay with readers long after they have closed the paper-over-board book".
