Right now, I would ... ( 8 months ago by silentmiaow)
Right now, I would associate colors with them based mostly on similarity to the shape of Roman letters. As I got to know the language, I would begin to associate colors to them based on the phonetics of them (the associations become complex if the sound is not one that exists in English). I ought to post my colors for the Arabic alphabet sometime to show what I mean.

I am visually ... ( 7 months ago by auroranebulosa)
I am visually impaired and the numbers of my grapheme-color synesthesia are strikingly identical to yours! The color which you gave your "3" matched mine so precisely that it was scary. :-) It indeed seems that synesthesia occurs more often among the disability community as a whole and is not limited to a particular disability. Grapheme-color is certainly common among people with low vision.

The credit list - 'Colours by Amanda's brain' reminded me of Dan Eldon, a photojournalist, who asked a painter in remote Africa what he used to mix his colours (meaning what materials). The man responded - 'with my brains of course'. We are often unaware that the meaning of what we say is always entirely specific to us, even when the other knows the words we are using.

most of your colors are wrong!!!!!
haha i couldn't ... ( 7 months ago by stigandr)
haha i couldn't watch the whole thing cos it just didn't fit! i don't think i have a 100% conscious thing about every number, but to me 4 is clearly the reddest digit i can think of, while 3 is green and 5 is blue. i think you got 2 and 6 "right"...
My 3 is also red ... ( 7 months ago by musicaabimopectore)
My 3 is also red and my 4 also blue. My A has some blue in it too; my K is also blue, but darker than yours; my N has some orange in it also; the rest is different.

Statistically, synestheists are more prone to attention problems such as ADHD and dyslexia than normal people.

ahaha, I think it's great that you have documented your synaesthesia like this. Well done to you!! However, my grapheme/colour/number perception is completely different to yours. I think my only similarity to you was the number 3 - bright chili red! Although I couldn't watch the whole movie because it was just too irritating (like you warned) I also experience smells, personalities and textures. And some sounds. How fascinating!

2 is red, duh. Sorry. But it is :)
You were right ... ( 5 months ago by Randommelon)
You were right about it being irritating for synesthetes! My alphabet and numbers were completely different to your's - they closest ones to mine would probably be your V and M, but even they were pretty far off!
WTF i'm synesthetic ... ( 4 months ago by mestesso00)
WTF i'm synesthetic for numbers and this is driving me crazy! 2 is red not yellow! 3 is yellow! It's really annoying, i'm sorry i can't watch this video

We agree in the B,C,M and S, specially this one, it's just like you match the exact color of mine.

Hi, I am not a synnie (person with synesthesia), but i study it as a scientific researcher. Surprised that you also have it! I wonder that some special mental conditions, like autism, synesthesia, and "highly sensitive person" (like me), are somehow related. Not exactly similar, but all are about a higher sensibility to the environment and a different sensory system from "normal" people. You have black 0 and O, white 1, I and L, which is quite common among synnies!

Wow your colors are so different from mine! It's so interesting though, I love seeing other people's alphabets.

I have Synaestesia, and it WAS really annoying to see the colors that didn't match up to mine!
I actually didn't realize that I had Synaestesia until just a little while ago when I made a comment to my piano teacher saying "Yeah, I see #C as a golden yellow color, what do you see it as?" and she just looked at me like I was insane! I just thought that everybody saw things in colors. People think it's really weird when I tell them about it, but I can't imagine life with out it, really.
Hello to all ... ( 2 months ago by husizaba)
Hello to all synesthetes! I just found this website(,=.): tukan,extra,hu ! There is a great online synesthesia survey - you can vote what color is each letter of the alphabet in your mind and see what color other people voted for! Really interesting.
