Is there a name for associating smells with colors? Im not talking about smelling a scent and being reminded of a memory. I mean, for example, I smell
certain perfumes, and I think yellowish orange. Or other dark scents make me think of the color brown.
Im not sure if this is something that even has a name or other people do this?
synsenthia. hold on, I'll get the spelling and a site about it for you.
edit: I can't spell tonight. but as I understand it, it's a term for people who automatically associate numbers with colors and smells with colors
and things like that. it's kind of like if all the senses were thrown together in a blender. or, that's how it was explained to me.
Synaesthesia is the generic term for when a stimulus is applied to one sense that produces sensation in another sense. It could be sight and
sound, or sound and touch, or sight and smell as in sparky's example.
