Hello. You know what synesthesia is...and if you don't: wikipedia

It says that synesthesia occurs in slightly more than four percent of the population, but I believe that everyone has it in some way... Just some people have a really strong form, while others not.
When I first heard about it somewhere, it was described something like a special phenomenon, and I thought "hey, but I am doing it all my life..." I mean associating numbers and letters to colours and even gender, relating sounds with shapes... It's nothing special really... I don't have a strong form though.

So, I think that everyone is more or less synesthetic. So, are you?

And I am interested in what kind of associations others have. Are they the same? For example, for me letters J and V are violet-blue... M - brown-black... N - lighter brown... E - yellow-white... I - black. And so on. The even numbers are usually warm coloured, and uneven numbers - cold coloured. Vovels are even, consonants are uneven, but somehow some letters are exceptions... The right is yellow, red and white, the left is green, blue and violet.
1-black, 2-light yellow, 3-green, 4-strong yellow, sometimes with red, 5-brown, 6-red, 7-violet, 8-white with yellow or maybe light blue... 9-blue.

what are yours?

I think it is somewhat a cultural thing, or already chosen by someone else. What I mean is, you know those books for children helping them learn letters and numbers? Well a lot of them have specific colors for the different numbers and letters. I think it helps the children learn them easier when they can associate them with more than one thing.

Also notice, V is Violet. M is brown, or a dark brown Maroon. E is grey for me, E for elephant .

For number for me it's 0-clear, white or black, 1-white, 2-black, 3-red, 4-violet, 5-blue, 6-brown, 7-yellow, not too sure on the rest.

I've seen sounds before. If I close my eyes while listening to certain music I will see different colors in different arrays.

Certain flashes of light will stimulate different sounds.

The sense of smell brings about visual memories a lot.

Certain tastes can trigger sounds and sights. Especially the taste of metallic, that can produce a sharp sound and a flash of blinding light for me.

Touch sometimes can trigger internal sounds and sights.

I'm not sure if this counts, but in my dreams I have experienced Synesthesia in pretty much every sense.

Synesthesia is a topic that has always interested me. I think all of our senses are connected at a different level of consciousness. It could be that, or memories interfering with our perception.

Numbers are associated with colors for me too.
0 is clear or white
1 is white
2 is green
3 is pink
4 is violet
5 is blue
6 is orange
7 is green
8 is blue
9 is red
and ten is black, grey, or red.

I also "feel" musical notes whenever I play the piano.

you are right, it can be a cultural thing. My mother tongue is not english, so letters can be different from english speaking people. But what about numbers... I would never ever associate seven with yellow, like you, Opus Magnus, this is so strange!
When I was learning to play pipe (just for fun, I never really mastered it), I noticed that I see every melody like some kind of story, different sounds were characters... For example, I am playing a simple melody, and when I concentrate, I "hear" in it a story about two sisters in the nineteenth century, who had to get married because their relatives told them to, and they were very unhappy.... crazy, isn't it

Usually I don't see music as colours. Sometimes I "see" sounds as shapes or patterns. I was riding a bus a few days ago, and it made some thin and curly sounds.

I am among majority...

When I'm really really tired and falling off to sleep I find if I hear a loud or sudden pitched noise I see it in colours like the soundwave patterens you get with windows media player.

Listening to Metallica guitar solos I can see the colors spiraling up or down.

as am i

No, no

0 is clear
1 is white
2 is blue
3 is yellow
4 is blue
5 is red
6 is yellow
7 is orange
8 is green
9 is dark green
10 I see as a 1 and a 0 therefore it is white and then clear

lol 'tis good fun!
