People with synaesthesia see different colors when they read, hear, or sometimes taste objects. Foe example, if a chair scraped across theground, they might see grey streaks.

It also depends on what type of Synesthesia you have.

_______________________________________________________________

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

What is the condition where people 'see' sounds or smells?

This is a neurological condition called synesthesia, where stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second pathway. For example, a person with synesthesia may see colors when they hear music or taste flavors when they touch objects.

What is synesthesia a symptom of?

Synesthesia is not a symptom of anything, simply a harmless condition of the brain that people are born with.


What is a smell?

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.


What are the symptoms of synesthesia?

Someone who has synesthesia sees colours in numbers, letters, sound, or other things. There are many different types. Some people with synesthesia feel sounds, see pictures in names, believe numbers have personality, and many more things. You can take a free synesthesia test on synesthete.org . Something else is that the symptoms never change. say that if somebody smells cherries when they see the number 5. He or she will always smell cherries when they see the number 5 it will never change.


Do other people see colours when they think of numbers?

Some people do this but it is not common (1 in 2000 people). It is called "synesthesia". Synesthesia can involve any of the senses, sometimes link smells and colors or words/sounds and colors. It is believed it is a result of cross linkages in the brain.

Not that anyone has every found - it is hard to determine just what animals are thinking about since they don't talk. There are, however, humans who do this. The condition is called synesthesia.

How can people become tolerant about people with synesthesia?

There really is no way that any synesthete can force a person to become tolerant about synesthetes. There are a few ways to help others understand what synesthesia is, though, and this is a crucial step in helping people become 'tolerant' towards synesthetes. Firstly, when discussing synesthesia, make it clear that synesthesia is not a disease or disorder but is a condition or trait that synesthetes are born with. This idea that synesthesia is a bad thing like a disease leads to misconceptions towards it and people with it. Also, when approaching people for the first time - say family members or close friends - especially people who you think might be very skeptical about synesthesia, bring a list of books, websites, stacks of printed scientific articles, and so on. That way, when you discuss it with them, you can back up what you are saying with scientific evidence. This makes the synesthete who says something like "I see colors and shapes when I listen to music" more credible to someone who has never heard of synesthesia.


Why do people see colour when a sound is heard?

This can be caused by a condition known as Synesthesia. Synesthesia can cross the senses in the brain in a way that makes them connect to each other, even when they shouldn't be connected. Supposedly, the effect can also be caused by hallucinatory drugs. Many people suggest not trying this.
