Of course I don't mind.

I would estimate about 95% of letters have their own colour, for example A is green, B is brown, C is yellow, D is black etc., but the letter G has no main association for me.

In almost all circumstances in my situation, a word has a 'base colour' (my own terminology here), which is the colour I associate the entire word with. My own name as a whole is maroon because of the first two letters. L= maroon, L= maroon again, O= colourless (a nothing sort of dark grey), Y= gold and D= black. Black, maroon, green and gold are the most dominant colours overall, and by dominant I mean that if they appear at the front of a word, then the entire word is 'flooded' by that colour.

If I look at a word in terms of its individual characters, I can then see the colours of each letter.

Interestingly enough, the names of colours to relate to their actual representations, except in brighter shades than normal.

Personally I find it interesting, but it can really stand in the way of logic sometimes, which goes strongly against my usual reasoning. It can be frustrating but I just listen to it.

Ask me more if you want, I'm happy to explain anything if you're curious.
Excellent and vivid explanation, thanks.

Do you have other triggers than letters/words?
And are other senses involved, or other effects other than seeing colours?

When making selections, could you please make them red and in bold, just so actual selections are easier to find among the banter. Cheers

(Love the banter, it's just that the picks are hard to find!)

And yep, we'll pick a 12 and you can name your first XI
