Synesthesia

Tweet

When I see numbers, I think in color. In my opinion, when I see a 2, I associate it with light green. When I see 4, I think of dark blue. This also sometimes happens with letters. Kind of weird, right? This is called Synesthesia. According to a post by University of Washington, "Synesthesia is a condition in which one sense (for example, hearing) is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses such as sight. Another form of synesthesia joins objects such as letters, shapes, numbers or people's names with a sensory perception such as smell, color or flavor." Does anyone else have Synesthesia? What things do you associate together?
