Worst habit: Overthinks everything to a degree previously unheard of by mankind. Also, procrastination and constant self-doubt

That's pretty kickass. Not gonna lie, I'm somewhat envious of your synesthesia
It is sometimes detrimental because I have to really challenge myself to use more contrast or earthy tones
BRUCE CAMPBELL YA!!!!!!!!!!
5 stars great seller product arrived safely
Never doubt yourself ;u;
1. Do all colors have tastes you're familiar with (like from stuff you've eaten before), or there are tastes only available through your eyes?
2. Does the color's color matter? I mean, will yellow have more chances of tasting like banana instead of apple?
3. Do you associate taste (or colors) with other stuff, like sounds, words, numbers?
4. Inversely, do tastes remind you of colors too? If so, do ALL tastes have a color?
5. Since there is a spatial logic to how colors are organized around the wheel (hue) and through saturation/value (generally in XY coordinates), do you also perceive taste as something that ranges from one type to another? For instance, is there a common "saturation taste" that affects all hues in a pattern you are able to sense?
6. Can we technically say you are tasting people when you look at them?
--
I think that's about it!.
2. Yeah, definitely, and that ties into me thinking it wasn't anything unusual. Like, it's not a huge logical leap to see a tangy orange color and think "mango," so usually the choices make sense... mostly? I think colors I find distasteful are what people find the most surprising, but that's probably because they taste like odd things I don't want to put in my mouth anyway haha.
3. Yes, but I don't get the physical sensation. It's only influenced by visual color stimuli.
4. No, actually? Weirdly enough I couldn't eat something and be like "ah yes this taste aubergine" automatically, I would have to actively think on it.
5. I think so? Or at least, generally speaking, the brighter and more saturated something is the more I will taste things that are sour, tart, fruity, etc, and if something is extremely blindingly neon it might taste more artificial, like soap or perfume.
6. IF YOU ARE REALLY COLORFUL THAN YES haha, think it also accounts for why I have total face blindness unless someone has brightly colored hair or clothing, I can actually remember how someone's appearance tastes to me, color-wise.
Black and white or extremely neutral tones have no taste though, I've noticed?
"I can actually remember how someone's appearance tastes to me, color-wise."
But just colors, or the position where they are (like changing hairstyle or amount of lipstick) will change the overall taste? Mmm, taste of big yellow foreheads.
It makes sense that black/white won't affect your synesthesia, since we have different structures for perceiving color and luminance. Apparently only your cone cells were rewired.
I've read about that in some of the books I did reports about in college.
Guess that does explain the amazing use of color in your work to some degree.
--Also I suffer hugely from procrastination, too. ;w;)/
It's really tough to jump back into the line of things when your brain just says "No, I wanna be lazy." o_o;;
Lastly, jfhdskhfdsjg, Odesza is just yes! ,\m/
