One example of low-grade synesthesia that many people have is when you ask them what shade is deep, distant rumble of thunder (without seeing the lightning strike). Almost everyone will say that it’s dark despite the association with very bright lightning.
- rpmisms 6y agoYeah, it's a steely gray, like the clouds it seems to boom from. Isn't that more of an evolutionary trait than a unique disorder/neurodiverse trait? Seems like grey = loud sounds = fear would increase survivability. Synesthesia is typically diagnosed as a seemingly illogical pairing between different sensory experiences. Thunder being a dark color is logical.
