Forget that other comment.You have grapheme color synesthesia because you associate colors with letters. I was thinking of someone else when I posted the other comment.

I see colors when I hear music or random noises like static and clapping, which is (according to Wikipedia)chromesthesia. you’ll probably find your type of synesthesia on Wikipedia, too.

I also have personalities for the days. Monday is a blonde lady with a bob. She’s a tough-talking business woman who always has a cigarette in her hand, for example.

i don’t think of things in color, but i do assign genders to everything.. numbers, letters, utensils, etc. always have.

She feels better knowing someone out there shares the same experience. I know this is nothing new to her but it is to me. I find synesthesia very interesting and I can tell she enjoys what some people consider a gift.

That’s a bit different from mine (the colours never change, and the footstep thing isn’t something I share, though that’s absolutely incredible!), but it’s still cool to know that I’m not the only one with something like that. :D

I noticed that some she does not care for has a light color and a dark color. She says when I get mad my color gets very dark. She has also said when people walk they actually have a footprint in that color.

I believe it’s probably a personality -> colour variation of synesthesisia for me. I’m interested to here more on your daughter’s type.
