This is how people with synesthesia see these letters. A recent Globe and Mail article by Wency Leung describes how about 5% of the population has this genetic condition. People with synesthesia (synesthetes) see sounds and experience colour when reading printed letters and numbers. Some people hear colors, feel sounds and taste shapes. A page of black print doesn’t look black at all, but rather a symphony of colour.
Can you imagine what writing a letter must be like (or a grocery list) ? Or receiving one?
From my limited vantage point I can only think how beautiful this would be. 
Of course, a synesthete may differ in opinion on this, but no doubt the world must look more colourful!
Why not take a moment and send off that Thank-You card that has been on your “must get to it” list and create your own kaleidoscope of colour?
This is really interesting … I’d never heard of it before. Makes me think of the artwork/notes that the girls bring home from school. My youngest daughter doesn’t know her letters yet, but sure can make a lot of colourful statements!
I have a huge pile of their endless creations – notes, pictures, crafts – and honestly don’t know what to do with it all. By nature, I’m not much of a collector so I struggle with a desire to throw everything out so that my place isn’t cluttered and the desire to preserve a moment in time from my daughter’s childhood. Help! I would love to hear what others do with their children’s written notes and drawings!!
The endless stream of artwork that our kids create is awesome but their efficiency on production is something corporations should take note of!
Here is an idea from http://www.parents.com that I absolutely love (albeit in the usa – not sure if this works with Canadian stamps or not)! They offer 14 ideas of what to do with kids artwork.
Turn It into a Postage Stamp
Upload an image and turn it into a totally legit, U.S. Postal Service-approved stamp (scan in the piece of artwork, or take a digital pic of it and upload it from your computer). This is a great way to add a personal touch to any letter or holiday card you send — and seeing your kid’s creation on that stamp will be way more fun than the latest official post office stamp or that boring red flag. We like pictureitpostage.com because you can create oversize stamps (all the better to see the artwork), with lots of options for customizing type color and background.
