· Quote

Does anybody know if seeing colours to features is still considered synesthesia?
I'm aware of perceiving colours of faces for quite some time, and, I think it is nothing to do with the personality. Colours are evoked by the form of the eyes, lips, eyebrows, etc. It is actually like when I read letters - the colours 'shine' from 'inside'.

I'll ask the usual questions, is it consistent and involuntary? If so, then it certainly sounds like a plausible syntype. I think I've read about someone else (an now non-active member of the old Nexus, I think) describing something similar.

Thanks! I was searching for a similar topic in the original Nexus.
Yes, it is quite consistent and involuntary. I tend to see eyes (depending on their shape) as yellow or green mostly, but there are also eyes that 'glow' red or dark blue. My father's are dark blue, and it is consistent. My brother's eyebrows are green like this  yawning , but a bit darker. I found that this has always been the same way, and it helps in drawing portraits somehow. But I've never read about anybody describing something like this, so I wonder if it applies  sight -> syn  X stimulus evokes X response  color -> syn , or is it something else?

It would fall under sight syn.

The person who described it was a member long ago, and their thread is probably still in limbo after the server change on the old Nexus.

Really interesting... you could probably make an interesting painting from this, and people would just think it was modern art.

In fact I do, I like painting  smile  I prefer drawing songs, but portraits are my other passion! I don't add the synesthetic colours of the faces though.
