    For those of you …
    For those of you combining letters or numbers with colors, there is a great letter/number - color voting website at:

    tukan (dot) extra (dot) com

    You should also add your synesthetic alphabet. Statistics are interesting…

    I am just saying that the way he says it makes it seem like he doesn’t have synaesthesia, its like he is “trying to hard.”

    I am the same for a few of those! I love synaesthesia. It makes learning song’s by ear, or rather eyes, a whiz.

    Thursday for me a bright rich yellow, and it has purple ripples in it. I like playing the piano too, but I use the sounds to guide me, I can learn songs easily by simply remembering the colors that I see. I also play the trumpet, and I think it is funny how a tuba looks when it is played. Makes me laugh every time.

    When I sneeze is is turquoise, what about you? :D

    Thursday is a cherry-apple red, with gold flecks.
    I like playing the piano, where I can see all of the colors overlapping each other. Sometimes it distracts me, though, and I make a lot of mistakes :)

    I have the ‘numbers in space’ type where the numbers from 0 to infin form a strange ‘bumpy’ virtical line. to me the days of the week also form a strange line. Emotions have colors ie. happy is sky blue and anger is black. Does anyone else have ‘Mirror-touch’?

    I wouldn’t call myself a synaesthete, but when I was a child I saw the days of the week in colour. I had no idea other people did till I read the comments here. I forget the colours I “saw”, all accept for Sunday, which was black.

    I just found out why I cannot look at sharp textures. For 18 years now ceiling “Stucco” or anything “sharp”, “hurts” when I look at it. I cannot focus on anything with a “sharp” texture in the backgound. Think this is related? Chocolate also triggers “nails on chalkboard” feeling between my eyes, same place looking at sharp textures bothers me.

    A: Red
    B: Brown
    C: Yellow
    D: Blue
    E: Pink

    G: Orange

    What do other people feel?
