Hello. :)
I'm starting this topic out of pure interest. I was wondering what colour do you think of when you see the number 4. That is, I want you to think of a colour that fits number four. The interest started because Both I and my sister think of:
(don't read before you think of an appropriate colour)
Spoiler
yellow
Also, why do things like sound and numbers, or even words have different colours in your mind if you think about it?
Here's what I think of:
Spoiler
A = red
B = blue
C = yellow
D = green
1 = white
2 = blue
3 = yellow
4 = green
Spoiler
All psychadelic colors. Totally tripped out, man.
It's funny how people have only mentioned
Spoiler
red, green and yellow
I'm starting to wonder why these 3 keep coming up, and not
Spoiler
blue or black
Spoiler
Pantone colour 151
Spoiler
red, but a dark one
Spoiler
Strangly enough, I see an orange 'R'
That's a lot of friggin' spoilers!
And here's another one!
Spoiler
Definately green.
Spoiler
red.
And the reason is because to use red text in mIRC, it's number 4. And I thought of red even before I realized you wanted me to associate a colour with the number 4. So it's definite.
Spoiler
A = red
B = red
C = blue
D = green
1 = white
2 = yellow
3 = blue
4 = green
btw
Spoiler
B = red

Interesting, I wonder if you're a uh... I forget the name for now, but it's a word that begins with 's' and means you see everything and associate numbers/letters/etc in your mind as colours, shapes and patterns. I've been told I am because I've always had very definite visual shapes and colours associated with numbers, letters, names, ... well, a lot of stuff. I don't know if that's not completely normal though (personally, I think everyone does this), but apparently it's a ... thing that exists. I wish I could remember the word.
As for what I think about the number 4...
Spoiler
Definitely pink.
1 = cream
2 = light blue
3 = brown-red
4 = pink
A = red
B = light green
C = light blue
D = dark green
Spoiler
purple

Spoiler
Green, That's the colour I think of instantly before I have time to really think, blue would be next. I think it goes back to those pot smoking days. I think pink too but that's a whole different story

I suppose green but I dunno, it really didn't come to me in a flash
Spoiler
yellow somtimes red

Red for four. The reason is really funny. Because of using Qbasic for half my life, color 4 means red. However, for 7 I think green, and 3 is yellow, etc. I guess I just used red and blue alot. Blue is 1
Marine Blue
Hmm when I thought abut it nothing came to mind... Does that mean theres something wrong with me. Maybe I'm just too tired.
Aushor. Yes, you're a frickin' weirdo and should be put in a mental institute... Well not really. Maybe nothing really special has happened to you that would have something to do with number four. to me, thinking of letters auto-assigns colours to them. If I think of a letter it first looks kinda like this text, but 0.2 seconds (The average "ping" of a human) the letters get coloured by something. I wonder WHY this assigning of colours occur? Does it serve a mental purpose of any kind?
I'm in the same boat as you and your sister Haddas, on the 4 front.
Hmmm
Spoiler
red
I've been obsessed with the teamgame lately, and hotspot nr 4 has this color. :P
I wonder if any bodies responces have to do with playing UNO as a child ? ;)
Maybe, except there were different colours for each of the numbers, so that means that the number 4 could be red, yellow, blue or green. Thats an interesting idea tho. We used to play that game all the time.
Spoiler
A = black
B = black
C = black
D = black
1 = Black.
2 = BLACK!
3 = BLACKER THAN THE NIGHT!
4 = BLACKER than the very HEART of BEELZEBUB, than the MURKIEST of HELL'S WATERS; where are we sleeping tonight, mummy, DADDIES GRAVE!?
I'd have to say Black.
Why? Because at night you can leap out of bushes and attack people!
You can also hide from the many fools that want you to do that thing known as work!
Furthermore, all my pens are black, so if I were to write the number 4, it would be black (I don't use pencils, they need sharpening too often).
4-red
5-blue
6-green
7-yellow
8-purple
I don't have any others, oddly enough.
Now, you may be wondering why I dug up this severly old thread. Well, I thought I had posted my impressions of the colors of numbers here earlier, but apparently I didn't. But that's not why I just posted...There is a recent news article that made me think of this thread.
My memory isn't there for school tests, but it is there for remembering the location of a thread over 1 year old.Ã, ::)
Well, maybe this news article will make you rethink your posts. Maybe youre 1 out of 2000.... maybe not.

And don't be like me and drag up old topics.

red. When I had an accident with a car, and was in hospital for a month with head injuries I don't remember anything, but the red nails of my nurse. Curious enough red seems to be the strongest colour, at least for me.
When I think of 4 I think of my favourite colour (as 4 is my favourite number)...
Spoiler
red
red seems to be the majority doesn't it?
yup, red for me too... But does this thread have a point if we don't have any freudian explanation of what does that mean?
I'm honoured a thread of mine has been dug up. Old as it maybe, but things happen. I found that to be a very interesting read. I wish I could see sounds, but not taste movement or something like that. oh god, bowel movement.. Lame joke I know. Forget about it.
Spoiler
Darkish red. Why freudian explanation... EGA palette, anyone?
Spoiler
I think of a cerulean blue
I do the same for shapes. Sometimes if I see a square I will divide it into 3 pieces in my mind (one large and two small triangles) and assign it the number 3 :D.
...
I can't believe I just wrote that :P.
I don't think of them as colours...only shapes. Colours depend on the context...When I'm reading about a number 4 on a door I think of silver, when it is a calendar entry, I think of black...
Spoiler
Outrageous Orange, Laser Lemon, and Jungle Green. That's what I said. Wild Watermelon, Midnight Blue, Atomic Tangerine... Radical Red, Sky Blue, and Shamrock too, and Gold so true it glows. I love the Razzmatazz, and Purple Pizazz, and Razzle Dazzle Rose. (http://personal.inet.fi/surf/presents/crazy.png)
Well, actually...
Spoiler
...orange. But it requires some heavy thinking, almost as if I have lost my ability to think numbers and alphabets in colour!
Gotta love a thread where people just write colours in spoiler mode.
my colour is the same as yufster's for the exact same reason :D
and for those of you that are lazy
Spoiler
red because of 4 being the colour code for red in mirc
Spoiler
green
It's suprising seeing who has the same thought thingy. Although yellow was a close second.
For all of you who said purple: You're wrong.
Spoiler
4 looks like green and TASTES like purple
How do you use spoiler mode?

put it between [*hide] and [/spoiler] (without the asterisk)
"Check BBCode and smileys reference" (a link that appears when you type your post) for more commands
I checked bbcode and smiley reference... never said anything about hidden text.
well, anyway...
