My synesthesia is projective. When I’m stuck in a traffic jam, it’s fascinating how all the vehicle number plates have colours. You can generate your own colours using any tool/app . Let’s have some fun!

Some of My decades are arranged in columns while others horizontally.
When I was in middle school, we had a magazine that listed celebrities' birth years. One celebrity was born in 1980, and I remember thinking, “Ah, that’s at the very top of the 80s column.” Another celebrity was born in 1982, so I thought, “Oh, she’s two years younger” and my mind placed her two steps down in that same column.

Ever since that day, whenever I think of a birth year or a historical event—like 9/11 in 2001 or COVID in 2020—my mind automatically visualizes it at its exact spatial location.If you were born in 1986 then my mind will automatically go to that specific location in my mental chart.
My synesthesia is projective.I see myself standing in the center i.e 2026 (present), all the past years are on my left side and all the future years are on my right side.I see them located in the surrounding external space.

Never heard of the word “synesthesia” before. Came to realize the condition is called Spatial sequence synesthesia just few months ago.
I also have GCS,all the years and decades have their own specific colours.
70s are light cyan,80s are red,90s are black,2000s are yellow no

Most people say the colour of August is orange but my synesthesia makes me see it in different colours.
Mixture of Dark blue (almost black) ,yellow and pink
What’s yours? You can generate your own colours with chatGPT or Gemini AI ☺️😗

This is how I see numbers. Noticed since the age of 6. Now I’m 33 and the colours never change. Think I’m the only one in this world who sees 7 as light cyan/turquoise lol
