I'm beginning to wonder whether everyone has a certain degree of synesthesia, because I recently realized that I associate certain musical values to colors.

A - White
B - Light Blue
C - Green
D - Orange/Gold
E - Yellow
F - Red
G - Purple

Same applies for numbers 4 and 7. For some reason I both see them as orange, and in some cases I see 8 as purple.

However, these are very minor things and I don't have many other associations like this, although I used to when I was a young child (I used to associate "yes" with red and "no" with black).

Anyone else have something similar to these? It doesn't have to be colors with musical values; just two non-normally overarching things.
Nope, completely clueless
Well...not really. I can't think of anything like that.

^That reads to me as "I suspect I might have mild synesthesia".
I think I have it but I also think I'm full of shit
For me, numbers and letters and words and such all have colours. For example, the days of the week (starting from Monday) are red, purple, green, brown, blue, red, pale orange. I get pretty vivid patterns with music too, but they're generally more associative; I'll see colours from the album cover or vague shapes of the singers face or maybe it just reminds me of an event in my life or a story - things like that. Sometimes I get unrelated colours and songs just create patterns but that's less common.

One thing I've noticed about my imagination is it's very vague - most things I imagine are just blocks of colour or vague concepts. I can rarely translate feelings or images in my head to reality, they just are. Makes putting my own internal expression in art and music and such frustrating sometimes.
That's cool, it's quite similar to what I have (the first part).
I don't have anything with colors, but I do think of the calender on an oval, basically shaped like a track.
Basically this if you stretched November, December, January, and february more.

Sorry the text is upside down, but the person who did the picture had it the wrong way.

I see the days of the week laid out according to which part of the oval they are on. So right now my weeks are more or less vertical. In summer my weeks will be horizontal.
Wow, now THAT is weird o_O
No idea where I got it, just seems natural to me. Your color associations seem weird to me though brah. Its funny because you mentioned the colors and I was like "Nope, nothing like that." But then I started thinking and I realized my calendar thing is pretty much the same. For the record I don't see a jumble of names, what I actually think about is squares like on a calendar that represent each day, but all of them are lined up around an oval/track shape. If I look at an overview of the whole year I don't see the individual dates though, just groups for the months.
