My grandmother has been asking this for 80 years.

I personally say it's sky magenta but the wannabe hex nut wants to say baby blue.

So they never mix. Neither is darker or off-colour in any shape or form?

Not at all!

To me, 44 is light red, because 4 is light red to me.

No two people with synaesthesia out there who see things in the same way... :wink:

It sounds like a C minor accord struck on the piano to me therefor I think it's a nice green blue colour.

But only when it rains, of course.

I find it interesting how many here synaesthesise colours from numbers by the iterations of graphemes more so than the numeric or arithmetic qualities of the number as I did. For example, 4 is only a purple but I do not factor in that 44 is consisting of two 4's.

My absolute first thought, before I read anything anyone else wrote here, was: sort of purplish.
