▲ 1 r/Synesthesia
For people with grapheme-color synesthesia: How does the color actually appear to you?
For example, when you see a letter or number, does the color:
- Fill the letter itself?
- Float on top of the letter like a transparent overlay?
- Appear behind the letter?
- Surround it like an aura or glow?
- Exist separately in space beside the letter?
- Stay fixed in your mind's eye rather than on the actual text?
- Something completely different?
I'd love to know how it looks from your perspective.
If possible, could you also mention:
- Whether this is for letters, numbers, or both.
- Whether the appearance changes depending on the font, size, or where the text is (paper, screen, imagination, etc.).
- If you could design an editor to recreate your experience, what controls would you want?
Thank you—I really appreciate any descriptions!
