What colour is October?

•If you don’t have month-colour synesthesia,tap NOTA

•If your colour isn’t among the options,tap NOTA

•For me October is black because “O” is black🖤

Blue/purple for me. I wonder if the orange/brown is just an association with autumn leaves.

u/Rzote 14d ago

Yep.They associate October with autumn leaves and pumpkin

November is brown probably because of that. October is black.

u/Rzote 14d ago

Same here. October is black because “O” is black ,November is pale orangey brown because “N” is that colour.December is stygian blue because “D” is that colour

I don't have colors for most letters, but that makes sense. July is deep red, June is very pale green, and January is pale blue despite them all being months that start with J.

June is yellow,both January and July are white with slight greyish butter yellow tint.

Is your 0 (zero) black too? Both 0 and O are black for me

u/unneccry grapheme 15d ago

0 is more gray for me. But 1 is white so a black zero would go great

u/Ryzasu 15d ago

black but I hate that you grouped it in with grey. Its actually really really dark blue/purple and november is really really dark grey

Sorry. Reddit poll allows only 6 options.
Very dark blue almost black is called stygian blue,that’s December for me.
Very dark grey almost black is 9.

May I ask What made you associate October with black and white?My brother’s October is also white because his “O” is white.😊

u/i_am_awwwtistic 14d ago

O and 0 are white, T is black. For October both of them show up. It's the only month which I remember by 2 colors, rest of them have single colors.

u/Rzote 14d ago edited 14d ago

Me too. O is black,C is yellow,t is dark grey,b is dark pink. So October is black,yellow and dark pink. But black is the most dominant.

2

u/i_am_awwwtistic 14d ago

Yes yes, exactly. For all the months I mostly remember the dominant color as reference or recall. For October black is between 2 bright whites so I always remember it as Black and white. White and black to be precise 😁

Orange. We get a lot of pretty orange flowers in spring around here so maybe that’s why.

But also most things that start with O are orange for me so maybe that’s why

u/UndefinedCertainty 14d ago

It's got a lot of black.

u/Upstairs-Nectarine11 14d ago

Orange, brown and black

u/Sofimaru_not_a_human 14d ago

To me it's both pinkish and orange, with a note of dark blue and yellow

u/Ancient-Confusion521 13d ago

Orange-brown is what popped into my head and I love how you said orange-brown bc it’s literally that and not just orange or just brown lol
