I wonder if whoever coined the phrase "Speech is silver, silence is golden" was a #Synaesthete.

As a synesthete, I love when music sound like the colours orange, blue, or purple! 🧡🩵💜
I’m a #synaesthete (in particular grapheme-colour #synaesthesia), which means whenever I see a symbol, my brain can “see” a colour from it. It’s been the same colours since childhood!
For me, straight line symbols tend to be blue, angular symbols tend to be green, “bendy” symbols tend to be yellow, and rounder symbols tend to be red.
Here’s a chart showing which letters and numbers are what colours according to my synesthesia!
One of the cool things about being a #synesthete is that you can quickly find something in a list by looking at what colours each word are.
Just now I found a sound effect I forgot the name of because I knew it started with a "yellow letter" (D), and the colour I see in the first letter turns the whole word into that colour! 
Other symbols my brain associates yellow with are B, K, P, S, 2, 5, and 6. #Synesthesia
