Has anyone ever associated their hands/fingers with colors or personalities?
I've done this since I was a child, maybe as young as three years old. My index finger is blue and the "mother". My middle finger is red and the "father". My ring finger is a yellowish green, the "grandmother". My pinky finger is golden yellow, the "kid". And my thumb is a plum purple color, the "grandfather" (because process of elimination).
They don't bear any resemblance to my actual family, except that my pinky finger is shorter than all of my other fingers (obviously) so naturally I attributed the similarity of height to my own (I was three!).

I also have grapheme-color synesthesia and mild pitch-chromesthesia (absolute pitch, though given how many pitches/keys are orange and green this is not the method behind my absolute pitch).
