Rgb language is like a salad to me. I taste colors.

The above RGB value is Mazerine Blue. It's my favorite color, because it tastes of gravy, and the most savory gravy mixed with subtle sweets, almost candy-like, or truffle-like, if you will.

I've always had synesthesia, which in my case, means I can taste colors. Synesthesia crosses the senses in many different ways.

When I see colors, they trigger specific tastes in my mouth, creating a unique blend of sensations that are difficult to describe. For instance, while apples are red, certain shades of purple make me taste apples, which shows how the associations can be unexpected and unique. What you taste with my condition, varies from individual to individual.

Mazerine Blue is my favorite color in the universe of colors I know and can consume.

This sensory crossover makes my world uniquely vibrant and flavorful. Art galleries and gardens are my taste festivals, each shade and hue offering a new taste. Despite the occasional sensory overload, I cherish this gift, as it turns the everyday act of seeing into an individual, delicious experience.

Can you imagine what the plethora of outfits on porn sets inspired? My synesthesia, caused by sensory nerves in the brain being mixed up a bit, means I'm not neurotypical, but it also means I get to experience the world in a way, that is rich, and uniquely mine.

Please pardon me if my perceptions of things and disciplines that you understand are not filtered the same way for me.

I’m this way with HTML color codes. Can see them in my head.

Not with the synesthesia, though, just the ability to know the color by the code. 😅

Some cool additional facts.

Synesthesia:

- Synesthesia is a neurological condition where one sense is involuntarily stimulated by another sense. This can occur between senses like sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.

- Approximately 1 in 2,000 people have synesthesia, making it a relatively rare phenomenon.

- There are over 60 known types of synesthesia, including grapheme-color synesthesia (numbers and letters have colors), spatial sequence synesthesia (numbers and shapes have spatial relationships), and mirror-touch synesthesia (empathetically feeling the sensations of others).

Art and Synesthesia:

- Many artists and creatives have reported experiencing synesthesia. For example, Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian painter, believed that color and sound were connected.

- The intersection of art and synesthesia can lead to fascinating works that blend colors, shapes, and textures with sounds, smells, or tastes.

Neurotypicality:

- Neurotypical refers to individuals whose brain development and function are considered "normal" or typical within the population.

- Synesthesia is often seen as a deviation from neurotypicality, but it's essential to recognize that synesthetes have their own unique experiences and perspectives.

Additional Fun Facts:

- The concept of synesthesia has been explored in various forms of art, literature, and music throughout history. For example, James McNeill Whistler's painting "Symphony in White" (1872) is believed to be an early representation of synesthetic experiences.

- In recent years, scientists have begun studying the neural mechanisms underlying synesthesia using techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Yep. I didn't have a name for it until I was in my 20s.

My mom took me to the doctor at age 4 because I kept making eating noises when I colored with crayons.
