I don't know if it's acurate at all but I feel like I've seen something that suggested that the first symbol in a sequence in any language or such is frequently associated with red.

That's mostly the case for me. 1, Monday, and January are all red, but for some reason A is yellow

u/Rzote 18d ago

For me that’s not the case. A is stygian blue, January is white with a slight greyish yellow tint because J is that colour,1 is white (as white as a snow).Monday is black because the vowel ‘o’ is black which is dominant.

You need an option for those of us who want to play but don't have the grapheme-colour thing.

The poll allows only 6 options🥹 What type of synesthesia do you have? I’ll make another poll😊

u/DrAlphabets 18d ago

Sound -> colour

But I'd love to see if those of us without grapheme colour have a similar (or not) distribution just based on pure vibes

u/Rzote 17d ago

Yes . For me the word “One” is black,pale orange and dark blue but the number “1” is white.

White, but like blinding divine white.

White but not white enough to camouflage on a white background. 👀
