Color Association
I am nothing so much as a patchwork quilt of idiosyncrasies, one of the odder ones being that I tend to associate people I know (in person) with a color or color pattern. The association forms unconsciously; instantly with some people, later on with others if it takes longer to get a feel for their color.
I also do this with numbers, letters of the alphabet, and months of the year. Today is February (pink) 19, (white + deep purple) 2005 (yellow+white+white+blue).
With people, there’s a wider variety. Many overlap or double. As an example, I’ll use people on my LJ friendlist. If I you don’t see yourself here, it only means I’ve never met you in person or I haven’t (yet!) hung out with you enough for a color to form. These colors are:
