Color code individual characters on pages you view -- induce color-graphemic synesthesia

A study by scientists in the Netherlands has shown that it may be possible to induce color-graphemic synesthesia (viewing letters as having an innate color) by reading text containing letters with a consistent color coding.

Replicate their experiment at home with the Synesthetize extension. Synesthetize can be configured to color as many or as few letters as you want in the colors you prefer, so you can use existing associations for a stronger effect.

G S 2022-04-06 When compared to the other options available, this extension is very good overall. But as others have said, it needs a blacklist. It doesn't format every single text (like inputs, or texts that get refreshed).
Tiago Dias 2021-05-16 Very good and fast. I would rate 5 stars if it had the option to disable on certain pages.
Wal Rus 2020-12-30 Seems okay but I can't get it to only activate on one specific site. The options for site access are "on click", "on current site", or "on all sites" - but no matter which I choose, it seems to behave as though I have chosen the last of those options.
Supa idk 2020-07-07 Doesn't work on youtube and on some sites, doesn't even load.
Jamie Stewart 2020-03-02 This is truly amazing!! Very satisfying to see all the letters in their correct colors. However, as someone with considerable amount of bright colors yellow and orange letters, it's a little overwhelming and difficult to read against the white backgrounds. I think it would be great if there was a mode where the first letter of the word colored the entire word, as it's true to how a lot of people experience graphemes. Until then, I've been using this to color the vowels and I'm still very happy with it! Great work!
