what if colors were a smell?

What if colors were a smell? What if every time I looked into those eyes I would smell the ocean breeze, instead of noticing how intensely blue they were?
And what about a rainbow? Would it be a flower garden? A sweet shop? A tropical rainforest?
Then, there's the colors of the ever-changing and beautiful sky. Would the shades of a pale morning sky be coffee and croissants - or fresh, sweet-scented laundry? Would the dark shades of inky night sky be the musty smell of a  fireplace - or would that be the intense evening sky colors, set ablaze by the sun? What if colors were a smell?

This is an extract of something I scribbled onto the back of some work in school today. It's actually quite an interesting thought. So, what are some smells you think would belong to your favorite color?

  2. I think this about minty blue. I think maybe it should smell like a diner with hamburgers and ice cream and everyone wearing 50s attire. :) Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
