Help[Opinions] Re: Color associations
in reply to a message by Xeno
I've got the same ones for Luna, too. Think it's because it means 'moon'? Josiah is bright blue for me.

am I the only one with moon=silver?

Luna for me is a midnight blue, which again kind of makes sense, but maybe I'm also influenced by Ravenclaw. =P

Not sure if I qualify as a synesthete (see comment above), but I wonder if there's a "moon" influence too. I picture most L names with some sort of yellow to them though, so there's that. I find that the first letter is more dominant or something. There's a bit of a general pattern to what colors things are. For example, L tends to be yellow, J tends to be orange, R tends to be red, and H is more likely to have a grayish haze to it.

Most of my L- names are that same color! My Rs are red too. H is orange and J is blue though.

Since both of you automatically think of R in terms of red, isn't it highly associative? If you lived in a culture where the color red was identified as hóng (Chinese) or aka (Japanese) or krasnyy (Russian), do you think you would associate the color with a different letter?
