Yes, indeed, each name has a color. Science has been in charge of affirming such a thing and so you can know which one is yours.
When we think about what name to give our baby, we at must look at its meaning. There are families who believe that the sound of it is beautiful and they don't care about the meaning. Others, however, go a step further and choose to follow some type of family inheritance that leaves little room for maneuver.
What few of us can imagine when choosing a name for the baby is that each one has a different color. And neither do the letters that make it up can help determine the personality of the future child. Or that the name irremediably affects her personality (pardon the redundancy).
Indeed: each name has a specific color and the vowels that make it up tell us what it is. It is not something based on the principles of synesthesia (the ability to associate two simultaneous senses, such as sight and hearing in the case of colors and names). It is based on the result of a scientific study carried out by researchers at the Radboud Universiteit of Nijmegen (in the Netherlands) just a few years ago.
Each name has a color
The authors interviewed more than 1,000 people and asked them to assign a color to each of the five vowels that make up our alphabet. When doing the subsequent analysis, they realized that the color assigned to each vowel was repeated in many of the people interviewed. Something quite interesting if we take into account that very few of the people interviewed had the aforementioned synesthetic capacity.
What color is your name?
These were the colors associated with each vowel:
- The A was associated with red, pink, and orange colors
- The E with green or orange
- The I with green and yellow
- The O with blue and purple
- The U with blue and red
“Our findings showed that we associate light colors with vowels that come from the front of the mouth and dark colors with vowels generated in the back of the mouth,” said Mark Dingemanse, one of the authors of the study, in a press release.
In this way, people can associate the color of their name with the vowels that make it up. Thus, in the case, for example, of Ana, her name (always according to this research) would be associated with the colors red, pink, and orange, while Iris would be associated with green or yellow.
Guess what color your name is
Beyond the study specified above, whose results can lead us to imagine what color our name is, there is a free tool with which we can see it visually. A tool developed by the artist Bernadette Sheridan and that, based on the principles of synesthesia explained above, returns the colors associated with each name once we write it in an enabled box. In addition, it is possible to download the image for free.
