I have synesthesia. Numbers and letters have color (they don’t change) and I feel music.

For example 3 is red, 4 is yellow, but 34 is fire color going left to right and 44 is mustard color.

The thing that made me think of it is that some letters and numbers have colors that are unusual and don’t have a word that describes them so as a kid I made up my own. U is uuee color. Weird I know. Normally I don’t think about it.

I discovered this had a name while watching a 60 minutes episode years ago. They showed a guy who tasted words. Thank God I don’t have that.

I love this post and the article. Thanks!!
