I also see colors when i think of the alphabet, numbers, or days of the week. Just thought i'd tell you that for me, this isn't anything like what i "see" when i hear music. It is pretty though! I've realized that the colors I see relate to the pitch and overall feel of the music :) hey all! so i have synesthesia, a type where when i hear music i see colors.

Inverting over and over from colour to taste to sound? I wonder what someone with real synesthesia would think of this. Inverting over and over from colour to taste to sound?
