when i hear noises i see colors morph and its really pretty. it almost faded because i thought it was the light, but i found out about this and its been working its way back. i thought everyone had it but i asked me friend if she saw athing on the walls and she looked at me like i was crazy and said no its just a wall. I LOVE HAVING THIS :D
I think because you only see progressive rock as a multitude of colors, and john coltrane as simply red or blue says more about your music tastes than your synesthesia. i don't have synesthesia, but OBVIOUSLY john coltrane has millions of colors flying around in complex patterns and shit. Yet you see it as red/blue?
Talentless idiot! Who are you trying to kid mate? Watch some more serious research into the condition and I hope you'll see you're trying despearetly to get on a wagon your too talentless to even keep up with, in order to compensate your averageness.......Miles Davies = Blue? PLease, give me a break! sorry, nice try though.....
Mind you all, there's a distinction between association and synesthesia. For instance, most people think that A is red, most likely because of Apple. [apples are red. :P] B is blue, or G is green. That sort of thing. Synesthesia is random, but consistent, meaning that if you have synesthesia, you've always had it.
I'd like to share this game with other grapheme-synnies, cos it's fun to watch. Think of a month and year within your living memory. Add a number for the day and the colours might trigger a memory of that day. If not, you might, if you're like me, get a colour pop-up in the year - like a suggestion, you'll see the year numbers change, and it's cos you'll remember something about that date instead. Cool!
I've only just found out there was a name for this. I, too, thought everyone had it. I am a grapheme-synesthete. Does anyone else see their months like a coloured escalator levelling off to the present, and see the colours of the months each side of the month we're in now? I see decades and centuries in coloured boxes, and get confused when people say, "the nineteenth century", then call it "the 1800's" cos it makes the colours jump around and unnerves me.
@mayisnatural i have a form of synesthesia where music produces a very distinct emotion, even if it's the happiest song in the world, if the chord or tune sounds a certain way, it can depress me. it's had a very negative impact on my life. but positive sometimes too :)
4:50 Dream Theater - UNDER A GLASS MOON, fucking awesome.
It's weird. I can only associate progressive music with colors. Any Colour You Like (Pink Floyd) is always in multiple colors, Brain Damage/Eclipse is always green. Rush is mostly either red or blue, Dream Theater is totally varied. I never get it though when I listen to jazz or classical..
@NailsForDinner Any Colour You Like is associated with multiple colors to you because Syd Barrett had synesthesia. You're probably seeing the same thing he did.
The 'bad' thing about sysnesthesia is that I also "see" what I am thinking of, as though floating in the air. If I am searching for a word or phrase, I look past the person I'm speaking to because I'll "see" the choices laid out in the air behind the person. People think I'm rude or 'shifty', but I'm just checking my visual info that's written in the air.
When you guys see colors for sound do you like see the wall change color or do you just think of the color like I we were to try and visualize a picture in our heads?
@86MrWhite For me it depends what colour the rapper's voice is and what he raps, but the word rap is mostly reddish because R is red (cliche, yeah?) but it has a yellow tinge because of A. There's a bit of light blue because of the P, but not much!
ya see.... many people make associations between words and pics or smth of that sort.... i do that very frequently and it helps me remember stuff but i see everything more like scenes and when i read i have the feeling that im wathing a movie or smth but it's not that special many ppl have it ;)))) or maybe that's kinda different dunno too much thinking :)))
I sometimes involuntarily associate a name or a word with a person's face, weather I know that person or not. Now I know I probably have this condition, whereas before I just thought I was "different".

monday is grey,tuesday black,wed alight brown,thursday dark brow, friday yellow,saturday a dark turqoise,and sunday green id love to know if people with this condition see days in similar coulors to each other
@rumplestilskint67 I remember listening to a good podcast on this on "Stuff you should know" from howstuff works. A mother and son both had this, but argued about the colors they saw because they were different for each person.
It's not only about colours, for example I find that numbers and letters each have their own personalities and genders. Synesthesia can also be very much more complicated than that :)
@mrcdplay unless you actually see that colour when the word is written or something then yeah. Evil is lamost always red for anyone as it is the colour of blood. Nausea is also usually green as when u c siick people in cartoons they have green faces. But if u just think of that colour as an association i doubt u have it.
Sometimes I associate certain words with colours, manners in brown, because it reminds me of beans XD that's kinda weird. I'm also kind of weird and different from other people in that if one minor detail in anything is wrong, it HAS TO BE FIXED RIGHT FREAKING NOW!!! If I hear a wrong note in music, I want to kill the person who made, performed that song because they're an idiot for not noticing it. I react in the opposite way to everything that I'm supposed to.
I never knew this was so rare. When I think of words or concepts I usually think of colors or shapes. When i hear the word water i just think of blue, forest green, love is red while happiness is yellow, and friendship is a circle. If one of my friends makes me mad the line i imagine might be wavy instead. I was looking on wikipedia and it says words to colors is most common but thought maybe 1 out of every 2 people had it!!!
When I listen to music I get a series of movement and colors in my head but I don't physically see it. But I get EASILY distracted by it. I definitely don't see individual numbers as different colors but names I think most of them I do. A lot of things I have to concentrate and think before I can associate but some I don't even have to think. It sorta comes and goes. When I saw the test for associating movement with sound It came without any concentration whatsoever. I can't tell if I have it.
Post a video about a rare condtion and you get comments from people that have it, or claim to have it. I have it too. I see music in different shapes and ripples, like on the surface of a pond. Lower notes are cooler in color and higher notes are warmer in color.
You are so cool! I'm 12 and just realized the kind of connections with numbers/letters with colors. The next doctor check-up I have I'm going to ask him. You did such a good job with this video! Thank you so much for teaching me and many others!
i don't understand how for this person, certain styles of music are associated with certain colors. for me different pitches are different colors. anybody else have this...?
I get what this guy is saying about musical phrases, but for me its more or less, the wirten music is colours. Like anything on the bottom like (g for bass clef and e for treble) is rown, and all of the spaces are lighter, intil you get up high when its all just black white and grey and un recognisable...anybody else get that?..like along with the usual grapheme stuff...
I dont see colors, I see images. when I hear certain words, or Names. An image will flash thorough my head. Green is bitter, where Pink is more sweet and creamy. Days of the week, Months of the year, and also years, are layed out in my head, each day or month has a certain place. Days of the week are in a triangle pattern, years are in the pattern of a monopoly board, and years are like a rolodex, that flips through when I think of a year.
My "c" is shining, it has a lot of energy. It's a little girl that smiles all the time. "c" is also yellow as well as "k" ,"3" and "S" but all in diffrent tonations.
SYNESTHESIA: S is reddish orange. Y is watery light aqua.. N is orangey brown. E is jet black. (S) T is golden yellow, so is H. (E) (S) I is white. A is the same as Y, watery light aqua. Many spelling bee winners have synesthesia, as the colors add an extra mnemonic. (My name looks like a Tequila Sunrise!)
@pengald so he looks like mac and cheese or flowered tourist pants? I have that kind! I have a type where people look like objects, words, numbers or letters! lol since i was a kid!
i hear a word and i see all the letters in my head as colors and when they all add up together i get another color. for instance the name mike, m reminds me of red, i=silver, k=light blue and sharp things, k generally overrides other letters in a word for me,e=yellow. those all add up with the way the name mike looks and sounds to make it remind me of black and spikes.
Gregg Braden, explained the THEORY of the power of human emotions in a manner understandable to everyone...lets make it FACT by using the Y'AH's perfect circle of sound. Nine Synesthetes are necessary to create EACH, Y'AH perfect circle of ...sound. This is the portal we need to design the Stargate to another different portal in a distant location.
TWO Stargate's are necessary, one is the receiver and the other is the trans-portal but both can still be located here on earth.
"Rare neurological condition"? It's actually fairly common, just not so to the extent for most people that it can be considered a useful characteristic, as opposed to neutral.
@thehappiestcamper No, no, it is rare. I am taking a psych class, and we studied this. Synesthesia is a real neurological condition, where senses just happen to cross between each other. Unless you can "enjoy the sweet smell of purple" or "taste the sound of raindrops", you are NOT a synesthesiac. Connexions to words/colours of everyday people cannot compare to this condition ;)
@LiiHoa Smelling colors and tasting sounds are definately synesthetic experiences, but more common among these are grapheme color synesthesia in which a subject simply sees colors for numbers, letters, months, or days of the week. That's still not super common, but it's not exactly rare. It's more common than everyone seems to think though. That's just the point I was making. :P I did a research paper over this because I'm a grapheme color and spacial synesthete. XD
once when i was listening vivaldi and fell asleep sligthly but suddenly i woke up.i slept almost 10 second and i remembered music was the best sound i heard and music was talking.melodies were sentences,words but i remember they re like meaningless words in different language that i dont know but i can undetstand them in that case then i cant forget this and i researched about it.sometimes i try it while listening music before sleep but it fails.sorry for broken english i just wanted to say..
He associates artist with color but for me I can take a single song or sound and give it a separate color. but this helped explain the condition a lot
i have synesthesia but everysong has its own combination of colors or one color ....but i never have one color for one artist....every song is different....very few songs have the same combination of color
I don't see colors when I listen to music, I see wavelengths in black and white. Numbers and letters have colors, but they, along with words, also have personalities.
its 1 in 23 people that have at least a small form of synesthesia. I have a little bit, mainly just colors with letter and numbers. but only in my mind
I love having synesthesia. Aside from numbers/letters, I associate colours wirh days too i.e., Monday (dark blue), Thursday (green), Saturday (orange), etc. It's mighty fun.
I used to think that numbers and shapes belonged to a certain color. Like, the number four and triangles are green, fives are red, twos are yellow, and circles are purple. And sometimes, I swore I felt sound. Then again, I also used to have really bad hallucinations. Guess I'm not special. :/
But, history-sicial studies is red, religion is purple, math and science are green, and language is either yellow or white. Maybe I'm just weird.
@RawrgasmsAreFun@RawrgasmsAreFun nah man, i have synesthesia. It varies with levels of intensity and the way you grew the connections in your brain, you ARE special man
man your so lucky :( im an artist of some sort and ive been so jelous of my cousin shes had it since we were kids and ever since she told me she had it i feel like my worlds dull because i dont see colors when i hear music...and im a terrible speller...
5's are orange to me too! but 2's are blue. i thought everyone did this too. I do it with letters and words as well. and i was always good at spelling in school and reading. i don't see colors with music which is funny because i don't have as much interest in music or learning as I have in art growing up .
The music in the begining smells like yann tiersen =O I can't remember what it is but I'm guessing it's from yann tiersen. can anyone tell me?
oh btw I see the days of the week in colors =D monday dark blue, tuesday dark yellow, wednesday light blue, thursday dark green, fryday red, saturday dark purple-ish, sunday light yellow =D oh and 4 is allways green for some reason =/ 3 light yellow 7 dark blue 6 red. the other numbers don't realy have colors =O
@papapandax3 I was 'tested' for syneasthesia not long ago by a lecturer at my university. I don't physically see the colours but my association doesn't change and APPARENTLY that counts as syneasthesia.
im pretty sure i have synesthesia, but do you actually PHYSICALLY see the numbers and letters in colors, or does it just remind you of the color you make out? cause i see the color in each word on here in black. but im reminded that a is red, d is pink, f is green..
I don't believe its all that rare... It's just no one wants to talk about it because I personally have had everything from disbelief, to people actually wanting to kill you for being a freak.
@policematrix that's not synesthesia. it sounds like you associated sweets with halloween. i have synesthesia too, and it doesn't go away when you grow up.
@raisaers yes it does , just because it hasnt in your case dosnt mean its the same for everybody, and a recent program on the bbc surgested that in most cases it left people as they got older usualy past the teenage years
i think this is so interesting. i did a project on synesthesia for a psychology class i took where i came across a bunch of artists and musicians that create based on their colors like this its awesome
When you look at a note C# on a musical staff, like on sheet music, could it look blue... But when you hear C# it sounds red? Or something like that? Or is the musical note the same as the sound sense?
i have what i believe to be a type iof synesthesia except ive never heard if someone having it. i can feel shapes or textures for sounds. idk if im just weird or if this is a type of synesthesia ill keep looking.
I really want to meet someone with synethesia in person and just talk with them. I think it's really cool. Do you see it more as a strength or weakness? well.. Not like you're lower or higher than everyone, but do you like it more then not like it? Have you read the book "a mango shaped space"?
darker colours, ranging from warm to cool, something like a dull orange changing to maroon and then shades of purple and finally dark greyish blue at the end
It must be annoying to hear this question all the time, but what color is my name? -- What is your favorite music and why? When people speak do you hear the colors? Can you understand what people say just by colors or do you have to use the words? Are other languages hard to learn? What is your favorite letter and word? -- I'm really interested in this. Sorry if I'm a bother.
Great minidoc. I basically have the inverse of what Patrick has (visuals evoke sounds in my head, ordered sequences have personalities, words evoke unrelated images) and it's nice to see the phenomenon presented as something cool as opposed to ominous.
What he talks about. Basically it's a crossing of your senses. You can see sounds in color or letters or numbers. Other cases include tasting shapes and other different thigns like that.
I only have over sensitive senses. Sensory Integration Dysfunction

Like anything on the bottom like (g for bass clef and e for treble) is rown, and all of the spaces are lighter, intil you get up high when its all just black white and grey and un recognisable...anybody else get that?..like along with the usual grapheme stuff...

I dont see colors, I see images. when I hear certain words, or Names. An image will flash thorough my head. Green is bitter, where Pink is more sweet and creamy. Days of the week, Months of the year, and also years, are layed out in my head, each day or month has a certain place. Days of the week are in a triangle pattern, years are in the pattern of a monopoly board, and years are like a rolodex, that flips through when I think of a year.

SYNESTHESIA: S is reddish orange. Y is watery light aqua.. N is orangey brown. E is jet black. (S) T is golden yellow, so is H. (E) (S) I is white. A is the same as Y, watery light aqua. Many spelling bee winners have synesthesia, as the colors add an extra mnemonic. (My name looks like a Tequila Sunrise!)

i hear a word and i see all the letters in my head as colors and when they all add up together i get another color. for instance the name mike, m reminds me of red, i=silver, k=light blue and sharp things, k generally overrides other letters in a word for me,e=yellow. those all add up with the way the name mike looks and sounds to make it remind me of black and spikes.

Gregg Braden, explained the THEORY of the power of human emotions in a manner understandable to everyone...lets make it FACT by using the Y'AH's perfect circle of sound. Nine Synesthetes are necessary to create EACH, Y'AH perfect circle of ...sound. This is the portal we need to design the Stargate to another different portal in a distant location.
TWO Stargate's are necessary, one is the receiver and the other is the trans-portal but both can still be located here on earth.

"Rare neurological condition"? It's actually fairly common, just not so to the extent for most people that it can be considered a useful characteristic, as opposed to neutral.
thehappiestcamper 11 months ago 12
@thehappiestcamper No, no, it is rare. I am taking a psych class, and we studied this. Synesthesia is a real neurological condition, where senses just happen to cross between each other. Unless you can "enjoy the sweet smell of purple" or "taste the sound of raindrops", you are NOT a synesthesiac. Connexions to words/colours of everyday people cannot compare to this condition ;)
LiiHoa 2 months ago
@LiiHoa Smelling colors and tasting sounds are definately synesthetic experiences, but more common among these are grapheme color synesthesia in which a subject simply sees colors for numbers, letters, months, or days of the week. That's still not super common, but it's not exactly rare. It's more common than everyone seems to think though. That's just the point I was making. :P I did a research paper over this because I'm a grapheme color and spacial synesthete. XD

once when i was listening vivaldi and fell asleep sligthly but suddenly i woke up.i slept almost 10 second and i remembered music was the best sound i heard and music was talking.melodies were sentences,words but i remember they re like meaningless words in different language that i dont know but i can undetstand them in that case then i cant forget this and i researched about it.sometimes i try it while listening music before sleep but it fails.sorry for broken english i just wanted to say..

He associates artist with color but for me I can take a single song or sound and give it a separate color. but this helped explain the condition a lot

I have the personification form of synesthesia.
Whenever I do math whether in my head or on paper, I interpret the individual numbers as having personalities.
For example:
6 and 7 are sister and brother. 9 is the eldest, elegant, and responsible. 5 is mischevious.

I used to think that numbers and shapes belonged to a certain color. Like, the number four and triangles are green, fives are red, twos are yellow, and circles are purple. And sometimes, I swore I felt sound. Then again, I also used to have really bad hallucinations. Guess I'm not special. :/
But, history-sicial studies is red, religion is purple, math and science are green, and language is either yellow or white. Maybe I'm just weird.
