like, it goes straight over 0-10, but falls down onto 11, and goes up at 18, and up again at 20

overused joke :eekdance:

Very, very neat. I never saw genders in numbers much, but I always saw 4 as female too... But I saw 2 and 3 as female as well. Hmm.

Ahh, classical music is fun for morphophoniacs! For some strange reason, the sound of lone violins always sounds like snow to me.

...And then I scribbled all over it. Ooh, THAT was fun.

Myrrh says that zero is white to her, and so have many other people. But I see it as dark blue. Is zero usually white because it's symbolic of nothingness? Or does it have as much chance of being any other color, and the people I've asked just happen to all be linked by coincidence?

Zero is icy blue or gray to me (possibly referring to 0 degrees F), so the grayish zero in the picture actually looked better to me than white would have. Seven is also similar; it's light-bluish-purple.
I also have colors for letters, more on that one later.............

I feel left out, I have no Synaesthesiate powers. :( Oh well, just listening to them is fun.

They're not powers, netty. But talking about synaesthesia is fun enough. :) I just wish I had more syn types.

Some minor instrumental associations for me:

Violins, by themselves, sound like snow.
Saxophones sound like rain.
Synths sound blue or blue-green, depending on the melody.
Arpeggios usually sound purplish red to pink. Also, they're kind of cloudy.

I don't think colors when I hear sounds, but I agree with you on me. Some of the buzzier synths seem more yellow or orange/red to me, though.

Today our school orchestra and band had their concert. I was pretty blown away, because the experience of seeing live music is so much different than seeing it on a recording. It was so much more colorful and bright and pretty.

The less talented musicians I could identify by the little bumps and serrated edges on their notes.

When I hear words aloud I "see" their text in my mind.

I have no idea if that's even remotely related to what you're talking about, but yeah...
