Synesthesia

Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind when reading about synesthetes was the movie Ratatouille because I have never really had a solid idea as to what synesthesia was. So, I thought of it as something close to what the main character, Remy, sees when he eats food. Whenever he describes the flavor and texture of the food he eats, colors appear in waves and changes in pops and snaps as Remy describes the food. The colors also mix together when he combines different foods together. I'm not sure if this would be considered as synesthesia, as I still don't have a good grasp on what synesthetes experience, but I have come to associate Remy's experience with synesthesia.

The Color Test

I found this site by just browsing throughout the Internet. I tried to find something that would seem interesting to me, along with the rest of the class. This site is pretty much only about colors and topics such as "The color test" (like the one I have chosen to briefly talk about), Colors and Design, Colors and Humans, the Science behind colors, and so on. And there is also a bunch of topics within each of the subjects, so I think it is a really cool website that you guys should check out! The color test is neat- it asks you to select from 8 colors, in order of your preference. The colors are violet, dark blue, brown orange, yellow, blue-green and grey. They say that the color in the first position is the "outer characteristics" of the person who is taking the test--their defining qualities. The color in the last position is the restrained, but also keep in mind that a lot depends on the order of colors. You should definitely check out this site because it goes more in depth about each color's meaning and analysis.
