i am trying to see if there is any common consensus.

do not try and associate this question with real-world objects or ideas. Purely choose a color based on the nature of the letter E.

i personally pick green but I might be tweakin

    Most people in this thread are coming up with an answer though. They can’t all have synesthesia!

    Most people here clearly see some connection, or have some sort of “default colour” for the letter.

    But unless I picked a colour at random, I couldn’t answer this question.

      I dont have synesthesia, but in this moment when asked to imagine “E”, I pictured it in my mind’s eye, and it was kind of a muted dark red.

      If you asked me tomorrow who knows.

      But the question is: how many who don’t see a color would post in this thread at all?

      And if they do have synesthesia, how many self-select to places like piefed because they feel different from others.

        Actually I just checked and estimates of the prevalence have gone up to 1 in 4 people having it. I long suspected that more people have it then actually realize, because one of the core experiences many of us have is to realize that what we have is not actually “normal”
