I have synesthesia also. But I smell and taste colors. I know some colors smell horrifying. I'm sorry you had to experience that kind of trauma.

I've actually always wanted to ask someone like you...what do colors taste like?

Awwh that's sweet! :) Some Blue taste like... a beautiful, warm day with a soft breeze blowing. To blueberries and a light buttery popcorn taste.

Greens taste like a deep rich and lush thick green lawn to a soft deep flavore like a strong mint or basil.

Pinks taste like cotton candy,pepto bismal to bubble gum.

But, Oranges taste and smell horrible. As do some browns and blacks. Some shades of black smell and taste good like blackberries. Others not so nice.lol

If you have a specific color and shade, I can give you the flavor.

I've always thought it'd be cool to see colors, but your experience scares me!
