JCC ITT I Tell You Your Colour

Zoey -burnt orange

Zara - I can't find an adequate hex code, but this is gold

Xander - teal

No colour. It's not too common that ordinary words have a colour, tbh. It's maybe a 50/50 shot.

i have questions.

how does this work? do you like see the name in colours inside your head? or do you just get a vision of the colour itself when you hear a name? does it like flash before your eyes or is it just a feeling of a colour or wut? how do you see it? is it bothersome? are you possibly just tripping on acids? could it be your fiancee trying to poison you? is it infectious? what's maia in colours?

 

So there's two different types of synaesthetic experience: The first is associative synaesthesia. This is where you experience "in your mind's eye". So (using my types as an example) if you heard rain, the colour would be in your mind, you'd think of the colour. The other type is where you physically see the colour, so rain would literally be that colour. I experience both. Primarily, it's associative. But when I'm tired, stressed, a sound is particularly loud or (in the event of my emotion --> colour) feeling an emotion very strongly, these colours begin to leak into my physical vision. It can be a bit distracting, yes, especially when I'm tired. I can concentrate on the colours more than what's actually going on. No drugs, as I've never taken them in my life, but some drugs can induce these types of experiences while the effects of the drug are in your system. And I think Chewgumma loves me too much to poison me It's not infectious, as it's neurological phenomenon. Some people taste words, others feel the sensation another feels, called mirror-touch. Others, like myself, see sounds, emotions, physical sensation. There's a whole list.

Maia - There's too many shades in this one to use hex codes, but it's a colourful variety of oranges, yellows and greens.

Jonathan - this tannish brown

 

cool.

see i don't have the ability to picture things in my head at all, so it's hard for me to grasp how you can experience colours "in your mind's eye". maybe normal people with the abilities to fantasize and think in images will understand it better. interesting ****, tho.

 

Could you do the name Kate, please?

 

I think it's pretty obvious Shira is a witch. When are we burning her?

 

Fitting end, considering the colours of my real name

Kate - a light, sky blue

 

Ah, shoot, so I guess "people," "interview," and "y/n?" might all be out of the running.

 

Who is electric blue? I would like a name trade.

So far I have dirt and some pinkish hue.

That won't work. I must find electric blue.

Royal blue if all else fails.

 

Yeah, sorry man

Erm...Darkspine's username has royal blue at the edges. Harpua has an electric blue line running through her username. Aerokedan is royal blue. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, haha

 

Oh, okay... I... well... I guess... okay, then

 

Nice thread Shira, very interesting.

Furio

Michael

 

Furio - Similar to "Violent"

But the colours are inverted and a hint of brown between the black and crimson.

Michael - Mostly this sort of colour with dots of carribean blue

 

Daniel.

 

Thank You

 

Daniel - Sepia with lines of this cream-ish

 

Merci.

 

De rien

 

I have synaesthesia too, I can expand on some of the other types she listed! My brain "converts" sound, smell, and vision to each other. Some of them make sense, like seeing rain makes me smell petrichor. Some of them make little sense, like hearing three notes and seeing a sunset. If I smell something unfamiliar, I can get random sounds and pictures. It's kind of bizarre. I also see words as a ticker tape (actually, it's more like very faint subtitles all the time), and ideas and numbers are like on a whiteboard. I basically solve problems on an internal whiteboard that only I can see.

But music is the most powerful - a song is literally like a story to me, especially classical music. The sound/notes will make me see scenes in my mind's eye. It's fairly easy to ignore and even enjoyable, except when I am writing. Then, it can get distracting unless I find the perfect song.

 

Like Volshe said, music is the most powerful for me as well. But instead of seeing story-type images, different instruments have a visual texture for me. Piano looks like ripples in water. Violins look like ink dripped into water. Flutes look like a ribbon in the wind. Those textures are infused and surrounded by colour. I also have the white-board thing she mentioned, as well as something called spatial synaesthesia (the months of the year have a specific spot in relation to me), physical sensation to colour and people, along with their name colour, people have a secondary colour that's a combination of their voice and personality. People with synaesthesia normally have more than one type.

 

me please.

 

Tom - This green speckled with this brown

 

My wife wants to know what color Cathy is.

 

I can't find a hex code for "Cathy" but it's sort of a rich creme colour infused with a bit of pink.
