Topic: What color is "5"?

[Weisshaupt]

Turns out I have another mental  "disorder" in addition to being INTJ. My mental numbers have colors.
According this wiki article,  I have  associative Grapheme-color synesthesia.   Mine are based around the primary color mixes. 2 is red, 3 is yellow, and since 2+3 =5 , 5 is orange.  4 is blue, so 3+4=7  and 7 is green.  However 9 (4+5)  is purple.. for no readily apparent reason. 8  is black.  Other numbers don't have a color.  I don't know if it is based on some toy, or magnetic letters, or a book, but this all got stuck in my brain. 

I asked at the table what color 5 was, and my daughter agreed with me, its orange. But she couldn't explain why either. 

Anyway,  does anyone else here have this "disorder" ? From the examples, it almost looks like it can become a super-power.

The only association to this that I have ever heard of is that I once read that Jimi Hendrix claimed to see the colors of music. Since frequency resonance is responsible for color I don't have any problem with that - even though I don't share that particular mode of perception.

But it would be different for different individuals...depending on what they associate, or "identity" the numbers & colors...thus expanding the need for different restrooms for those identifying colors, shapes, numbers, smells, etc. with their various associations.

And...if we were to combine all the associated colors of various individuals together...we'd inevitably get...wait for it...black.

Thus...black lives really DO matter!!

I think these folks might play a lot of snooker.

My friend tells me cologne aromas have color, so she chooses her cologne for the day to match the color she's wearing.

  Thank God I'm color blind.

For example, in the common form chromesthesia (sound to color) a projector may hear a trumpet and see an orange triangle in space while an associator might hear a trumpet and think very strongly that it sounds "orange".

I get it. I hear this psychobabble...& to me it triggers the color of horsesh*t (and sometimes bullsh*t). Therefore, all psychobabble sounds brown.

I can go along with that...I see mostly brown every damn day.
