Why do two people see different colors highlighted in the place they are at a time when they fall in love?

I really don’t understand what youre saying.??

are you saying, like, what were we looking at the moment we fell in love? I would say that theres no such situation to begin with.

Well, we really have no way of knowing if we are seeing the same color any time do we? For example, we could both be looking at something and agree that it was “robin’s egg blue,” but neither one of us knows if the color I call robin’s egg blue is the same color you call robin’s egg blue.

Chances are, unless one us most likely you as you are male, is color blind and all other of our equipment is working the right way that we are seeing something similar, but we really don’t know. And look at how computer monitors vary when viewing the same image.

OK, enough of my smart ass side. I assume you mean that things look brighter (like colors) and the whole world is like a newly minted penny when we are in love. If it’s that kind of love, it’s a by-product of the chemical stew. Different hormone mixes for different sexes, I presume and, as you know, that kind of “love” does not last. (We can’t stay that way), but it can transmute.

ok, think about the time, the place you both were in at the moment you two fell in love. Then ask yourselves what colors appeared to you as more prominent and compare to those of your mate, don’t cheat!!

synesthesia?

@ezraglenn That’s is a good answer!! How did you find this definition?

only on tv

at ed… I am trying to remember but I can’t, we met three and a half years ago. I think I saw what I saw though- nothing different or out of the ordinary. Its how I felt, that was different.

@ed – I read a lot of Nabokov, and he was a synesthete, so that’s why I thought it might be synesthesia. His writing is wonderfully colorful.

@TheHaight Some people can remember better than others. It depends on the impact this event caused in your life. We tend to remember more vividly experiences that are pleasant to us. However, I can remember a not so pleasant experience. I still remember when I was 5 years old and was trying to escape from the kindergarten I was in. I was wearing a white shirt and black pants and while I was on the way out through the bottom of the fence, my next door neighbor caught me in the act and took me back to the principals office. I felt so lonely at this school so I was eager to go to the school where my older brother and sister were studying. I did have a serious talk with my mother and convinced her to let me enroll in primary school instead. As you can see, this experience had a great impact in my life. I would think that most ppl will remember the first time they fell in love. I still remember the day I fell in love but was speechless. It was the last day in school and I was talking to a girl I had a crush with (I was 15 at the time) but I didn’t have the guts to kiss her. Now looking back, I know she was waiting for me to act.

dude- ed I DO remember the day I fell in love verryyy vividly. But forgive me for not remembering bright colors! ????

My sister dragged me along to this BBQ my friend was having. I didn’t want to go, and frankly didn’t want to leave my room because I was going through a bit of depression. So I made myself go to this little shindig, ended up having a fun time. This guy walked into the room, and we just couldnt stop staring at eachother! It was as if I was floating on cloud9. That’s why I told you I didn’t see any “bright colors” but felt so Many emotions. To make a long story short- three and a half years later we are still very much in love. I can go on and on about our meeting but I dont want to bore you… I just wanted to let you know I did remember the first time I fell in love. (I just didn’t see any colors… Which I still do not understand but wish I could, because it seems really cool to see “bright colors” during pleasant experiences)

And that kinder. Story is too cute!!!

@TheHaight Thanks for your input. All I can say is that this world we live in is exciting cos we all are different in our sensory perception. We do have mind filters that only allow us to remember what we were interested at the time we fell in love. Perhaps your main sensory perception mode of learning is not visual, so it would be difficult for you to describe a story with colors and what they mean to you and how they make you feel.

no, its visual. Its everything. Physical, auditory, etc.. Its a lot of crazy feelings at once when you’re in love. I just might not remember “colors”

Speaking of all this…. What about you?have you seen these colors too??

yes, I remember that time when I was in love with girl I described previously, I remember greens and blues were prominent. maybe it was the green of the leaves on the trees, but also I remember a wall being green, then a bus stopping near by had a color green on one of the advertisements. Perhaps I saw these colors because I prefer these colors now that I think about it. But back then I hadn’t thought about which were my fav colors
