Synaesthetes come in several different shades (as well as textures, sounds…)
Those of us who associate colours with letters and numbers often have trouble when eg learning mathematical symbols and reading text (My associations include
1=black, 2 =yellow, 3=red/brown, 4=black, 5=mustard…)
Today’s invention therefore is a piece of code which will let a user list their individual associations for an entire set of alphanumerics or other set of symbols and then display each of those symbols on every screen in a pale, complementary colour (eg red for green).
This would lessen the strength of the links to colour and could be finely calibrated to suit the individual concerned.
