I will start color reading today.
There was a two weeks period of reading, but I have no results with reading.
From this time I want to achive longer period. A few months and about 30 minutes pro day reading with this extension.
I’m pretty intresting of the results. Maybe longer period will reveal something new.
Kind regards,
Peter.
So you are going to take a similar approach as i am, i.e. long term/short sessions. What type of content are you going to read? And what kind of color schema are you planning on using?
I will try to read in 30 minutes sessions every day.
My colors of letters are bright and strong. I think vivid colors are much more influential.
When it comes to content. The best will be something which interest me. This forum is also great place to start color reading 
LociInTheSky have huge posts
I will count words to measure my progres in words, maybe some diagnostics about comprehension.
I try to be aware of some changes in my perception.
After some time I will make a test.
I will visualize myself a letter and will wait for the color to arive. Maybe it will come automaticaly just like the images in PAO. Hehe
If the colors will appear I will start with the sound Visualization of colors for whole words
Since my set is brightfull the words probably will be all happy and funy.
Kind regards,
Peter
I too, use vivid colors except for the vowels, they are of darker colors. Could you share your colors here?
After now 5x30m sessions reading i realize that the colors for the letters are very important. It might be different for each person, but i think vidid colors are the best (but you must use a good and preferably high res display). I used my surface pro 2 and its display sucked compared to my external display and my Galaxy note 4 dispaly. Got a headache reading on the surface with a vivid color schema. So i will continue on my note 4, even though its small it feels easier on the eyes.
Yes, tests seems like a good think to do, lets design some :P. I would actually like to make some test now in the beginning so i would know my starting point/base score (ahh, forgot what those tests are called, remind me :D)…
As for changes in my perception. I really after just 4x30m see and feel the letter when i think of it, not all the letters but some of them have created a bit of a personality/evoke a certain feeling. However i dont see the color when reading a yet, its only if i would imagine the letter. For example m is darkgreen and calm (probably the feelings the letters provoke are based on color, since green is supposed to be a relaxing color). J is yellow and barely visible, it dazzles my eyes. So far im impressed, will see if these results are just temporary.
Its also scarry how some words produces certain feelings (depending on which colors are present). Im uncertain if this is a good thing since it might interfere with the real meaning of the word. Although the text im reading creates more feelings so this should help with retention.
Anyone else trying this out here? Give it a try with vivid colors for 2x30 min a day, and make sure to use a good monitor/screen.
These are my colors

Please add them to your android app.

Some good colors you got there, for me it was a hassle to find distinct enough colors. And i think you have at least one that i could use in my for a letter which now is to close colored to another one. Did you have any thought of why you colored certain letters a certain way? For example, all vowels bright or smt? Check the letter S btw, it has one A to much, right?
Do you see a difference on the letters m,s,w? Maybe you want to add some shading or make any of them bold, you can experiment here.
Any thoughts on why you choose A,H,D as the most eye popping colors?
Ive added your schema to the app, it should be updated in a couple of hours.
I simply choose those colors which I think will be appriopiate the most to my way.
For example black is 0. Becouse 0 is nothing like dark matter.
I checked my color scheme in your app. Unfortunately it is not there yet. I am looking forward for update
Thanks for effort. I will for sure use your app.
Kind regards,
Peter
synesthesia… It can really improve memorization, but how much?
If i am not wrong, LociInTheSky has synesthesia… He told that before memory sports he had a poor memory and he may help to understand the process of it in mind. (even with synesthesia… but Jhonas Von Essen also told he forget things every time… and it is very frequent to see people telling they have a bad memory and some of them have good memory).
I have always seen some people talking about meditation. It is frequent enough to turn on my curiosity… I know that if you meditate for a long time you see things in a different way and it seems to be something like 5-10% of a real synesthesia. And now i am giving back the question to you: does meditation help in memorization? in memory sports? if someone develop the ability to meditate for 10 hours, would this be helpful in memory sports?
can it be helpful in memory?
My girlfriend has synesthesia. and she had it before starting meditatting 2 hours per day (every day).
I have been maybe 30 hours searching about techniques to improve memory. This is the first time i see this topic and seems that it must be more (deeply) explored.
i guess that to see if it can be really developed and how and intensity it would be interesting to have someone doing 30 min of it… every 3 or 4 hours.
i would like to hear… i mean see more opinions about this …
Its incredible if it is really true. So we will start to hear letters, see colors and personality on it. i am following this topic. And every 5 min i enter to see if the person who allready developed this ability appeared.
Person who developed synesthesia: APPEAR
now!
please!
Tell us your ninja secrets
doing scripts and all this things is too complicated!
It is complicated just like memorizing for 15 minutes or more.
but with synesthesia i will be able to do it without so much torture.
I think your schema should be there now, please see if the colors are correct. I used the ones you posted here, but the color that you posted for the letter S was an invalid HEX.
Taijutsu - join us in this experiment, the more people the better! All tools are out there now, you could both get some reading done on your computer or on your phone. I would advice you to not create your own colors for each letters, its very time consuming. Just choose Josh, Peters or mine (Oskar).
wayweary - i accept
but i dont understand how are you doing this. i am using MSWord. If you say GREEN 1 GREEN 2 and GREEN 3 i will understand that you are using 3 types of green…
We will all get the same ability of Loci and Wang Feng (he may have synesthesia)
its so amazing. it is more than taijutsu
it is it is it is… magic, man!
super powers
from the beginning (when i started mnemonics) to now i must have trained maybe a few hours (but more than 1 hour) and 100-150 hours searching the perfect technique
95-98% of my training time is searching the perfect technique…
but by doing this all the time i will not get so tired with memory sports and i will not give up also (i gave up in the past).
when i become synesthesic this problem will end… and things will be very easy. and i will train a lot.
never disrespect your letters and numbers,.
or… they will not come back when you need.
i would like to have more time
I have readed about 30 minutes each day, I add chrome addon in my job so the time increased sometimes to 2 hours. I have readed about 5 weeks and no results. I have two breaks 2 days/3 days. The synesthesia colors don’t come to me. Maybe because I am a programmer (I spend so much time on Visual Studio and editors). 
But I will continue till it will work for me
I started at 15th of March.
How is it about you?
Hey Josh, I like this idea. Did anybody tried this? I don’t really know how good I am memorising colours…
If this is the case and It really works, would it mean that we could improve for instance PAO, and do a
Person Color Action Object Color?, so that we could codify much more in the same visual images? I don’t know how effective it would be though.
I’ve only done some of the synesthesia reading, but not as much as the study recommended.
I think that some people have tried using colors in their memory systems, but that it hasn’t worked very well. It’s always worth experimenting with though, because you might have different results.
Regarding the efficiency of different memory systems, check out this post about PAO systems.
I put this on hold since my last update, there has been to many PDF to read while doing my thesis and i haven’t been able to colorize PDF files without losing their structure. However after i have graduated (June) i plan on taking this up again, stress free this time, will be one of my summer projects.
I still remember that the colors just came to me after a few days of reading, i still know which letter has what color. Although when reading a a black text the letters are not colorful even though i know which color they “should” be. So even after 5 weeks of reading 30m a day you dont know the exact color of each letter? Have you tried associating a letter with a feeling, it was quite easy when the letters had a color. Than look at a page holistically and try to see where all instances of that letter is.
I spend a lot of time in Visual Studio and other coding editors as well. My major is in computer science.
