How do you do the ‘what color is your name’ quiz on TikTok?
The color quiz was first made in February 2020 by a user named Bernadette Sheridan.
You can visit the website and type in your name to be given a generated color palette that matches your name.
“This Synesthesia Me Visualizer shows you the “synesthesia” version of your name, or any name,” reads the website.
“The first line is your name in light blue text, and the second line is your name shown as Synesthesia colored blocks for each letter. Try it out, save your image and share it with your friends.”
What is synesthesia?
Synesthesia refers to the process of undergoing a sensation through another one of your senses, per WebMD.
Hearing a name and immediately visualizing colors, or hearing a sound and thinking of a specific food is an example.
The cause behind synesthesia is yet to be found, but some believe synesthesia runs in families and is in your genes.
Those with synesthesia were also found to have a more significant brain response when exposed to a sound.

Synesthesia comes from Greek, and translates to “perceive together.”
It is not a mental illness or a disorder, but rather just a special perception.
What are people saying about the quiz online?
TikTok creator Lisa McKinley posted a video sharing names with colors and received over 303K likes.
“I have synesthesia so I associate sounds and words with colors and I’ve been getting a lot of requests to show people what their names look like,” says McKinley in the video.

“Do the names of colors match with the colors you read and see them as??” wrote another.
