    It's so weird reading other peoples' colors. I keep thinking "No! 1 is not that color!"

  • @BarknoorZ
    @BarknoorZ 8 лет назад +331

    But for me even if a number has double digits, like 12, I still see each digit in it's own separate color, I don't see 12 as a whole.

    1-yellow (slightly washed-out)
    2-deep blue
    3-yellow
    4-purple
    5-very intense red
    6-orange
    7-blue-green
    8-purple (deeper than 4)
    9-yellow (same shade as 3)
    Many of these also have consistent feelings associated with them, but these are hard to explain.
    I also associate months, the alphabet, and names with colors.

    @TehLolMaker 2 года назад +3

    I do this with letters, too. It particularly helps when recalling someone's name, since names are usually associated with the color of its first letter. For example I may not remember a name, but I will remember that their name had a bright yellow color, so I'll start thinking of all kinds of names with a bright yellow first letter: A, S, T, W, Y and after while I can remember it.

  • @JennWanderer

    I completely forgot that when I was a child I saw every number as a face with a specific emotion up until she said "numbers have personalities!". I even drew numbers in my books as the faces I saw in my mind. Numbers with more than one digit were groups of "characters" having conversations and arguments. It really clicked in when she said 9 was angry, because of how true it was. I always thought the same. It makes me sad that I forgot for so long, so thank you for reminding me, Brady and Alex!

    Wow, I've always thought of 4 as a "blue" number and 2 as a "green" number. Though I can't quite say that I actually see the numbers in those colors when looking at them; I suppose it's more subtle than in her instance.

  • @ThePrisma90
    @ThePrisma90 12 лет назад +10

    I've always experienced 0-9 as having colors, but then the colors repeat with powers of ten; so Three is green, and so is thirty. Numbers also have weird, abstract personality traits associated with them; for example, nine is an evil plotting villain.

    Half of hers were the same as mine and 2 and 4 were my favourite positive, especially as a kid (so when I was happy, the numbers 2 or 4 would stay in my mind). Crazy. I also see colours when I hear music which as a musician brings another perspective to writing stuff compared to others I guess.

    @WindowsLove4216 7 лет назад +1

    I have synesthesia too. Yeah, that's right that each digit from 0 to 9 has its own color. 0 is white, 1 is yellow, 2 is pink, 3 is orange, 4 is sky blue, 5 is red, 6 is maroon, 7 is green, 8 is dark blue and 9 is violet. And each synesthete understands/sees numbers in a very own and special way. Anyway having synesthesia is really GREAT!!!!!

    In my head, numbers are things I use to count with.
    For example, if I have a single walnut.
    I would say, "I have ONE walnut."
    If I had a second walnut.
    I would say, "I have TWO walnuts."

    It is interesting that while the "colourful" numbers have different colours for different people, the numbers 0 and 1 are often seen as "colourless" or black or white or something like that.
    I also associate numbers with colours, but not as strong as she does:
    0 - white; 1 - black; 2 - red; 3 - green; 4 - bright yellow; 5 - blue; 6 - forest green; 7 - maroon; 8 - dark yellow, almost brown; 9 - violet; 10 - light blue; 11 - skyblue; 12 - light orange; ....

      3 - red {like r and e)
      4 - yellow (like i)
      5 - green (like g)

      I'm not sure about 6, 8 and 9 but the strongest are 2, 3 and 4 in that order. Also, j is orange.

    • @auroratogni4843
      @auroratogni4843 6 лет назад +1

      I think it's because of their frequency of their use. I mean, to me Saturday is very difficult to distinct because I do a lot of things on Saturday. 0 is most of the times next to another number so it takes its color so I define it with transparent. 1 it's so common to see… it's a bit primitive it's just one unit. I see it like a bit shy, in fact to me it's white.

    Monday: Red
    Tuesday: Blue/Purple
    Wednesday: Yellow/Orange
    Thursday: Green
    Friday: Pink
    Saturday: Gray
    Sunday: Black
    i think that i've associate that when i was i child, at school. My teacher did buy the notebooks with a specific color for each subject.
    Math: Red, Italian: Blue, English: Green, Story: Pink, Geography: Yellow
    and i associate for each day the color of the first subject of the day. I don't remember why saturday = gray. Sunday = black because on Sunday i don't have school.
    (i'm italian, maybe the school system is different)

    @zarcothecheese 12 лет назад +1

    I've always had a mental association of certain colors to certain number digits, similar to what she described. I have different colors for each digit, but it's the same thing. I've never seen a number's colors as its factors and don't really think in personalities, but I've definitely always associated numbers with a color. Really cool that this is something sort of special! FYI: 0 and 1=white, 2=blue, 3=green, 4=red, 5=orange, 6=lighter blue, 7=light purple, 8= dark purple, 9=red or pink.

    I have diagnosed Grapheme color synesthesia. When I tell people that they say "Yeah I do that too. " But Synesthesia not just lightly associating colors with numbers, It is that the number IS the color. Grapheme to color is the most common and least severe type of synesthesia. MY numbers are as such 0- white 1- red 2- pink 3- light blue 4- purple 5- dark green 6- navy 7- yellow 8- maroon 9- aquamarine 10- black

    @Stray0 8 лет назад +14

    I sometimes associate objects with the things I do while that object is present.
    For example, I was eating a piece of marzipan while watching a certain RUclips video. I ate half of it. One day later as I began to eat the other half, this RUclips video was popping into my head. I wasn't thinking of what I did yesterday. It just unintentionally thought of it.
    Or as a kid I used to hear radio while gaming and I began to associate maps to songs. As the songs began to play I had to think of a certain map. But as I played the map, I didn't have to think of that song.
    This isn't useful, but it's kinda interesting.

    • @NUGGet-3562
      @NUGGet-3562 6 лет назад +1

      I do something like that with certain songs. Like one time while I was listening to a song called Visions, I came to a certain part in the song, and I was just listening, not doing much. But I started thinking about the TV show Wild Kratts for some odd reason. Now every time I hear that part of the song I think of Wild Kratts again. 😂😂😂

      I believe what you have, is called memory, my friend. The only explanation I have for you is: our brain cells reuploads memory when we do something (eating the other half) the second or third time. It recalls a situation or feeling of the first time the 'something' happened

    I've heard of this, but I'm glad that I found another source about this! I definitely have this, I've been thinking this way for as long as I can remember. I really only think about it when it come to to age, or with years. For me, I don't relate to what you say with the factors, I just see for example: 324 - Green, Red, Purple. They don't blend together at all. Here's my list:
    0 - Clear
    1- White
    2 - Red
    3 - Forest Green
    4 - Dark-ish Purple
    5 - Light Blue
    6 - Orange-Red

    My synesthesia is crazy. Like letters, months, days, names and most words all have colours/mix of colours, and then numbers have colours, personalities and some even have genders (despite the fact I hate anything maths related lol), and I can also sometimes hear sounds/music and they have colours and textures and patterns/shapes.
    I think I have colour - grapheme synesthesia and sound - induced synesthesia? (As far as I know from research I've done idk)

    And the personalities of colours! Yes! I totally relate to all of that!
    Colours like blue and orange always seem to be the cool, laid back but at the same time leader like personalities, so the numbers with those colours stand out more to me. 2 has more of a presence than 1 due to that fact, 2 is also a number that seems to crop up a lot in my life.
    7 is my lucky number because I relate to it, colour wise and personality wise. Yet I see myself as being more of an indigo. With the laid back and mysterious qualities of purple and the strong indipendant qualities of dark blue.

    Synesthesia isnt just sight you guys! Synesthesia is when two senses get mixed together. some people can taste words, others can smell numbers, some can hear textures. the more I talk with people who do have Synesthesia the more I have found it is more like a trait that we learn. As for me I can feel sounds. Growing up I was always surrounded in music be it classical, hip hop, pop, rock, or electronica and different noises have different feelings. Bass drums make my head feel fluffy...

    i have synaesthesia aswell. Numbers are:1-golden yellow,2-navy blue,3-forest green,4-blood red,5-sky blue,6-pink,7-lime green,8-orange,9-yellow. 0 is weird because by itself is just pitch black but otherwise is the colour next to it. Something similar happens with time periods, often being just darker versions of the numbers. certain words like colours, company names, personal names, and other weird ones such as desk have their own colours

    I'm like this with numbers and letters. Also, some words seem to have this texture that sometimes relates to the word like, the word 'grass' seems to be spikier at the top and brown at the bottom. It also has this purple tinge, which I think is because the letter 'g' is purple in my mind. For numbers,
    0-clear
    1-white
    2-red
    3-green
    4-yellowy-orange
    5-blue
    6-yellow

    I have this too. I didn't realize it until a couple months ago, I just thought it was something that was inside everyone's head. When I looked more into it, I noticed that not only digits but individual letters as well had colours and personalities that I associated with them.
    0 is white, 1 is red, 2 is light pink, 3 is orange, 4 is blue-green, or both blue and green, 5 is sort of a burnt orange/red, 6 is darker pink, 7 is green, 8 is brown, and 9 is a deep royal purple.

    It's weird, writing it out like that just looks so right. It's like she says, if there were four red blocks it would just look wrong (though to me it would be perfect because 4 is red to me). Writing the number next to its proper color just has some sort of really satisfying symmetry to me. Knowing that, I wonder if I could give myself a headache by writing something totally wrong.
    0 red 1 green 2 white 3 orange 4 blue 5 yellow 6 green 7 crimson 8 sky blue 9 lime green
    Hm, looking at that it's like I don't see the number and the word paired, it really just looks like two distinct colors next to each other. My brain won't associate them or match them, it keeps the work and the digit very separate. Doesn't really hurt my head though.

    In a way, I think I'd arranged these a long time ago, back when I was learning about different colours and their names, and this helped to remember them. I feel like, while others' lists on here have emotional meaning, I just placed them in an order of "least to most pigment" and attached the corresponding number on that 0-10 scale. Anyway:
    0 - clear, 1 - white, 2 - yellow,
    3 - orange, 4 - red, 5 - pink,
    6 - grey, 7 - green, 8 - primarily blue, but can be brown as well,
    9 - purple, and then 10 - black.
    But there are several exception double-digit numbers: 11's silvery-snow, 17's turquoise.
    I used to have something for 21, too, but I'm unsure of its colour lately...

      Can SLP I have synesthesia so I'll try to answer your question. No. Not for me at least. It's actually more interesting than that. For instance, 1=Yellow and 2=Green/Blue. 1/2 is simply yellow if you focus on the 1. Green/blue if you focus on the 2. If you focus on both, the 1 is yellow and the 2 is green/blue. I guess the answer is it depends. It definitely does not blend for me though. Usually one colour overpowers the other depending on the focus. Another example of this, 15. 1=yellow and 5=red. However, since 1 comes first and you focus on the 1 first, the 5 turns yellow as well. I would assume everyone is different though.

      That is just a trend for me. The same goes for odd/even numbers (Odd numbers are more feminine. 7 is pointy, and not very feminine, but as I said the roundish 6 is also quite masculine) For me the letter "o" is not very feminine, even though it is completely round. I guess it is connected to the sound of it. That goes for most letters i guess.

    I've thought about this before. 8 and 3 are blue and red to me, and some colors have stronger associations than others (I don't associate any color for four). It's also interesting to hear how people think she's "wrong". You likely perceive colors themselves differently. If we all saw colors the same way we would all have the same favorite color, now wouldn't we? It's the same for numerical association.

For me 1 to 10 go up at 30º then it twists around for 11 + 12 and then turns again at various increments indefinitely. Also, different scales effect the shape of the line in that 'seeing' a number between 1 - 100 is on a different line than say 10000 - 20000. I also do this for days, months and years, time and musical notation. Numbers between 1 - 10 also have personalities!

For me, 1 is black (and maybe white), 3 is an emerald green, 4 is brown (an awesome brown), 5 is red, 6 is kinda white, 8 is a dark purple, and 9 is some tinge of yellow. For forming the next number's colors, my mind mostly depends on the digits of them: 14 has the 4's brown, 15 is a combination (like a gradient) of light pink and red, and so on.

    Her colours are almost exactly the opposite of mine! 3, 6 and 9 are all cool colours for me (3 is light green, 6 is dark blue and 9 is an ugly olive colour). My multiple digit numbers are the colours of the different digits that make them up, so they're all multicoloured.
    It's helpful when I have to quickly find numbers and words, but really annoying when solving probability questions (I always confuse 5 blue balls for 6 red balls & vice versa)

    For me, 1 is yellow, 2 is blue, 3 is red, 4 is purple, five is orange, six is green, seven is maroon, 8 is black, and I need to play less pool.
    Although, to be fare, I do actually think those numbers as those colors, even if it is likely from pool (especially 1-7). When it comes to music, I believe I'm more synesthetic. I attribute songs to colors, and I find I like albums more when it contains a wider range of colors between songs.

    1= red, 2=blue, 3=yellow, 4=green, 5=super light blue (almost white), 6=red, 7=light green, 8=indigo, 9=magenta, 10= red and white (red on the 1 and white on the 0). I could continue but numbers are infinite and I don't feel like going on for that long :)

    For synesthetes, are some numbers and color connections easier for you to see than others? Like for example, is 3 more obviously red than 4 is green, but you know 4 is green to you?

    With me, square roots of numbers are "royal" colors of the number, with gold from the root sign. So when i see the square root of four, I see royal purple with gold, even though I know it is equivalent to 2 (which is just off sky blue). So in my case, I can't deduce anything about a number, but then again, my colors aren't dependent on their factors like Alex's are :)

    I don't know if it's common or not, but if it helps, I see 1 that way too. Apparently a lot of grapheme-color synesthetes see A as red, B as blue, and C as green, which I can also relate to. So there are probably some innate patterns to be found despite the disparities.

    For me…
    0 = Black.
    1 = White, but also a bit of pale tan.
    2 = Dark blue. (Repeated 2s seem to increase brightness.)
    3 = Lime green.
    4 = Dark red.
    5 = Light blue-grey.
    6 = Orangish tan.
    7 = Dark reddish brown.
    8 = Crimson.
    9 = Yellow.
    But I've found it's not just numbers; it's symbols.
    I can do it with letters as well.
    A = Red.
    B = Blue.
    C = Yellow.
    D = Brown.
    E = Bright green.
    F = Yellow.
    G = Reddish brown.
    ...etc.
