Telephones

When I talk to someone on the phone, the colour of their voice changes. It's that simple. I'll give you an example.

You remember my friend from Hearing Colours, well whenever we talk on the phone, the colour of his voice changes.

The green gets darker. It changes to a similar shade of a holly leaf, but it's lighter. Not quite so green. There is a touch of blue in there too. The blues a kinda naveyish blue. Kind of like the blue glaze you quite often see on china. That dark, beautiful blue.

His voice becomes more spaced out and less solid. Think about it as if it is glitter. You throw the pot of glitter into the air and the individual pieces if glitter always spread out and get everywhere. It spreads out and has that sense that it is spaced out.

The colours mean the same sort of thing. The green is calm and kind still. But the blue relaxes it. The blue makes it more chilled and relaxed. His voice doesn't really need the blue because he is such a relaxed person. If he became any more relaxed; his heart may stop.  But the blue in his voice is a nice touch. It makes him just warm, friendly and safe as he is in real life.
