Synesthesia

Synesthesia is a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In simple words, it is the confusion between the sense, as when musical notes are experienced as colored.

It all depends on what synesthete you are talking to. I, for instance, don't smell colors. But if you asked two synesthetes who did, their answers would be different. One might say red smelled like black licorice and the other might say red smelled like mashed potatoes. A third synesthete might agree that red smells like potatoes but will disagree on green saying it can't possibly smell like honey because everyone knows it smells like a light summer rain. So it really just depends on who you ask.

What color is a smell?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Synesthesia is a condition in which the senses mix together (for example some people with Synesthesia see certain colors for certain sounds, or hear different sounds for different colors, and so on. So smells can have colors for someone with Synesthesia. There is no definite answer I can give, for three reasons. One, you did not specify which type of odor in your question. Two, I, nor anyone I know has Synesthesia. Three, the mixing of senses for people with Synesthesia is unique for every person affected, so it is impossible to give a true answer.

Although many studies have been done on this, currently noone has settled on an official percentage of people born with synesthesia. However, this doesn't mean that numbers don't exist, just that many of them don't agree with eachother, and therefore there can't be a sure answer.

It's a little hard to explain but I'll try.

For me it's like seeing a number and there being a pop-up screen in your head that projects the numbers and letters you are seeing, the only difference being they are in color. It's fast and if you are focusing on the meaning of the text or reading quickly the colors fade fast but if you read slowly words (mostly numbers for me) start to dance with color on the screen. It can feel overwhelming sometimes and confusing like a mush of information that makes everything feel fuzzy.

Here is an example of what the numbers are on the screen for me:

0 - Clear with a fuzzy grey shadow, like an embellishment (the clear pop-up ones for scrapbookers)

1 - White

2 - Blue, typically a light to mid-range muted blue

3 - Red, always red, bright red; male and devilish

4 - She is hard to pin to one color, she masks herself and tends to float around between three colors: Bright blue, Bright "blocky" green and when she is with other numbers like 24 she is yellow-gold

5 - He is always the colors of mud (brownish, reddish, goldish) a generally childish number and generally when paired with numbers he taints their colors

6 - She is a light muted green with a hint of yellow (not lime green!)

7 - She is very pale very light yellow, extremely pristine and innocent and has a "holy" status

8 - Deep cool purple

9 - He is awful... horrible and mean especially to 7 and an extremely dark dominating brown almost black color

10 - White

11 - Light tart-tasting pink
