The colors of vowels

I find it really fascinating how different people think of colors in relation to numbers, letters, days of the week, shapes, etc. Enjoy some amateur poetry based on my thoughts on what vowels are what colors :)

“A” is pink, and pretty and sinister. A surprise wrapped in bows on bows and glitter hearts.

“E” is emerald green, the color of animal’s hearts, the color of hot cocoa in the winter, of the steadiness of loving.

“I” is sharp and cutting and light blue, like icicles the teachers warn you about in winter and waking up on a monday morning.

“O” is a comforting yellow, not a bright garish one, but sunflowers and road trips and the feeling of beams of light.

“U” is maroon and solemn and almost vintage. Going to an antique shop or the library or your grandparents house.

“Y” is neon orange, as if a Fanta soda exploded on a white canvas. The feeling of a candy shop, and meeting new people you know will be friends, and the beginning of summer.

Actually just curious :]

SYNESTHESIA is characterized as a 'cross wiring' of senses in your brain

for example

tasting words

Numbers and letters having personalities

and having a consistent link between colors and numbers/letters etc. This can be fully visual (seeing aura simmialr to migrains when hearing noises) or internal (imagining bright colors or shape/ number associations to things in your 'minds eye')

Diffrent days of the week having a strong color connection

Alternatively days of the week and calender months having a specific mental layout or 'shape' and days of the week and month having a specific place om this mental map that shifts depending on where you are in time, simmilar to a clock or time table

I'm also curious on how this effects you so you can leave that in the reblogs if your comfortable!

For me personally my synesthesia effects my writing because I'll often mix up letters and numbers ( I write down 4 alot instead of G and vice versa, I also mix up 4 and 7 because they 'look' the same, I'm wondering if this is some sort of dyscalculia though, the same thing happens with A and 8)

#dustbunnies.txt #polls #synesthesia #autism #actually autistic #adhd #you guys can do your own research #but personally i have grapheme color synesthesia and music/color/shape association. idk what that about lol #off the top of my head

The other day I was discussing my synesthesia to my family members since I had never told them that I had it, or how I perceive numbers and sounds/music. I decided to make a quick little write up thing explaining my experience with synesthesia, even though it's one of the more common types.

#it me #synesthesia #grapheme color synesthesia #chromesthesia #my fam was surprised by the numbers thing #and that each number has a specific color

"If PD-MDZS drew He Xuan, would he be a Man or a Fish?"

#Poorly drawn tgcf #tgcf #He Xuan #The promised part two to the He Xuan Saga. #This is the refined and highly selected group of coherant designs #There were many....many more....several pages and sticky notes of grapheme and pen. Ramblings of a visual kind. #I got so stuck on 'sharp forehead'. You are all being saved from the worst of my attempts to figure out what that would look like. #What does it mean. What does it *mean*??? #Btw the reason there's a red star next to no.5 is because that's the winner <3 #At a certain point I started making wild designs in relative jest (and desperation) and something about axolotl He Xuan just... stuck. #I couldn't stop thinking about it...And okay; It works. An amphibian very much goes with his general vibe and themes. #That and for the fact this permits me to draw Shi Qingxuan as an axolotl. Going on axolotl dates. Holding axolotl hands. #And once that image got in my head I knew. #If poorly-drawn-mdzs drew He Xuan; He would be an axolotl.

For example, numbers and letters are normally black to me (like the entirety of this poll), but here’s what I see when I actively envision the colors of numbers:

Please feel free to elaborate if you want! I’d love to know the specifics of how your answers vary!

Oh, and lmk if you’re a synesthete! I don’t think I am one myself, but I know this kind of thing happens for some people with synesthesia, and I wanna know if this experience is exclusive to those people or if anyone can experience it

#polls #tumblr polls #colors #numbers #letters #alphabet #synesthesia #grapheme-color synesthesia #what colors do you see when you think of/see letters and numbers? #are they specific? #do the colors change for you or do they always remain the same? #do you have to actively think about the colors to see them or is it an automatic thing for you? #do your colors align with mine? #or are they different? #do you even see colors at all? #I don’t have an example for letters bc not all letters have a specific color for me #mine

I am proud to present an illuminated alphabet for my grapheme-colour synesthesia schema! In a nutshell, this neurological phenomenon allows an involuntary, consistent and unique colour association with graphemes (letters & numbers (I might illustrate numbers next)). Each flower corresponds to its letter (I forget all the names of each species lol don't ask me).

Apparently this is the most common type of synesthesia, but because there is very limited research (it's not a disease) the rates could be anywhere from 1/20 to <1/1000. I read a book called "Wednesday is Indigo Blue" once about it, and other rarer forms of synesthesia, which was pretty good.

Anyone else have GCS? If so do you hate my schema lol, or do some letters match? Apparently it's common for "E/e" (and also "3") to be light green for some reason.

A is A is A (Catalog)

Since 2016, graphic designer Marcello Jacopo Biffi has been obsessively researching alphabets.

Alphabets is Biffi's visual research project in the field of typography. It consists of a group of related alphabets, which share the same DNA but look considerably different. Structured on the same elementary pixel matrix—the archetype, or basic form of the alphabet—the set has undergone multiple digital transformations, producing atypical results. The order of execution, the intensity of the distortion, the number of steps are some of the variables in the serendipitous design process that determine the result, which is never final: each alphabet is a frame taken from a variation sequence progressively moving away from its point of origin. 

The goal is to generate a collection of allographs (different signs representing the same letter) to explore the relationship between glyph (representation of a letter) and grapheme (the minimum unit of a writing system). The result is a formal inquiry into the identity of letter shapes, and, if possible, an attempt to reject this very concept.

This catalog was produced to accompany Biffi's A is A is A exhibition at Marsèll Paradise gallery in Milan. The name of the exhibition is a  nod to Gertrude Stein's famous quote, "A rose is a rose is a rose," affirming Aristotle's law of identity. A selection of Biffi's alphabets—Alphabets 1-8—are presented alongside related film and screen-based projects.

The catalog collects together a replica set of the sheets of paper used to construct the 2020 exhibition, along with loose sheets with essays about the project. Distributed in a screenprinted envelope, the publication's form references Marcel Duchamp's idea of a portable exhibition in a package.

Hey!! A quick question for fellow systems with synesthesia,

Does it effect each of you in a different way? Like, do you all get something different from it, and do some experience it in a lessened degree or higher degree than others??

We have synesthesia, but we've never thought about this, and I obviously can't remember or know what the others in our system experience. We were going to try and document it within our own system, and probably still will, but I'm curious about others as well!! Reblog or comment your responses please, preferably a reblog for further reach! 🩵

everyone has grapheme-color synesthesia we're over it but

and PLEASE explain why in the tags

#i have no idea how common this is but if the grapheme color ones get so popular maybe a few people do this too

[finleyforevermore]

what’s chromaesthesia like if you’d be willing to Enlighten the Public (me)

i have grapheme (the least interesting one) (oh and also certain instruments have colors like electric guitar is red, piano is white but darkness depends on pitch maybe, drums are obv grey, but idk abt those things. oh also wowaka makes light blue - ice music. piano is cold. but like idk if thag counts yknow? either way you don!t have to say anything about those observations. just Say Thing about chromaesthesia i’m Curious)

NO ONE'S ASKED ME ABOUT MY CHROMESTHESIA BEFORE I DONT THINK SO THANKS SO MUCH!!! <3333333

Okay so:

Whenever I hear music, my brain almost automatically associates it with a color. It usually happens without me realizing it, like I'll just know the song is the color without giving it much thought!

Here's some examples of what colors I associate with what keys/songs!:

This song sounds dark blue, save for 1:30 where it sounds like a dark lime green, and 1:40 which is a grayish-blue.

This song is orange, save for the choruses (1:15, 2:30) which are dark green!

0:00-0:16 is green, everything up to 3:09 is a tint of blue, 3:09-3:35 is a light green, 3:35-3:52 is the same tint of blue as earlier, and 3:53 to the end is a lime green!

Thanks so so so much for asking me about this!!!

Just tonight finally getting around to watching the new Dune - I was waiting cause some small part of me thought I'd be able to actually finish the book this time, but I finally have to admit defeat like the last time I tried.

Always been SO baffling to me how everyone seems to regard it on the same level as other sci fi novels, like Tolkien. I ate Tolkien for breakfast at 24 years old where I struggled with it even at 17, and since I first tried Dune at 14 I thought it might be the same principle, but I couldn't even get through the *audiobook* of Dune at 25 without like terrible headaches from just being so. Fucking. Confused.

Specifically the names! Not just names of people, but also titles and places etc etc etc.

Anyways while watching this I realized my problem FINALLY, and realized that I've been like imposter syndroming myself into believing I don't have mild color-grapheme synesthesia.

Dune is literally confusing to me JUST because A's and H's and K's are really similar colors to each other for me (arrakis, atreides, harkonen, kwisatz haderach etc (...i had to look up all those names cause i literally couldnt remember them as im watching the damn movie lmfao)) and they're also really similar to the color of the desert on the book cover, all like shades of red, some of which become oranges with the rest of the word. So reading the book to me is like. Every time a name comes up I am staring at a block of sandstone. Trying to pick one color out of the multitude of nearly-identical hues.

Which makes sense I guess why it's so frustrating to read, but also is a fascinating, COMPLETELY new insight as to how I read books or read/hear words in general. Like...it never occurred to me that that was the problem cause I genuinely didn't know I primarily use color to tell people/words apart.

I've always been a "speed reader", like is that just bc I identify a word and its color, and then every time it reoccurs I just notice the color and then mentally fill in meaning instead of reading the word again?

What implications does this have. I know color grapheme is the most common form of synesthesia, is it common to have problems reading like I have with Dune, or do people with it find themselves reading faster because of it? I heard it's supposed to be distracting but except in very specific cases, like Dune, it seems to specifically be helpful and clarifying? And like I find myself never going out of my way to get certain colors of things, but always ending up with that specific color of thing - ex. I never try to buy red backpacks but at one point I noticed every backpack I've ever owned in my entire life has been red. Have I been leaving myself messages. Have I been receiving messages from the Spice. Spice must flow. Spice must flow

#literally me at age 10 picking up a copy of the name of this book is secret at my middle school library: #huh synesthesia is so cool! i wonder what it would be like to live like that 🤔 #it would be so cool to see words as colors and vice versa! #then reading the whole book using color grapheme synesthesia speed reading techniques #synesthesia #anyways this is me self soothing and self validating cause i have always been a good reader and am embarrassed i #simply cant get through dune and probably never will 💁‍♀️ #my white whale. my ... giant sand worm may his passing cleanse this world
