So, now that we're on the topic, let's talk about grapheme-color synesthesia. This is the most common form of it and many people think that it's a common occurrence, but it's not. In fact I thought my own grapheme-color synesthesia was something everyone experienced, but I was proven wrong... Very, very wrong!
So basically grapheme-color synesthesia is a phenomenon where words and letters have colors. The people who experience this are called synesthetes.
Most synesthetes are either projectors and/or associators. Projectors actually SEE the colors of the letters and numbers and associators actually don't see it, but they associate very strongly with certain numbers and colors. Like 1 will be red, always red in their mind. However projectors are a bit different. Projectors physically see the colors (I fall into this spectrum). It is very difficult for me to explain the colors I see. Most synesthetes really can't because the colors are sometimes different, like they bleed into each other sometimes and form a beautiful rainbow effect! Some people might not have this experience. It depends on the synesthete, really. And for me, on a computer screen, the colors are actually easier to see when the brightness setting is a little lower. I is always like a pinkish-red and R is always purple. The main colors I typically see are red, blue, green and purple. Oh and black too. But my favorite colors are green, blue, red and purple. I figured out it's because of my grapheme-color synesthesia. My brain is tuned to those colors, hence why I prefer them over others! Brains are weird, huh? 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfqEZO6wN
Here's an example of what grapheme color synesthesia looks like. This is what it looks like for people like me on a daily basis. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTL9avruw
