1♥ for now.
Then over the expected 1NT, 2♣ or 2♦, bidding 2♠ will strongly suggest this shape (with 5-5 you would have first bid 1♠, and you will not be often bidding 2♠ now with 4-5)

Tired of red/black ♠♥♦♣.
♠♥♦♣ For 4 suits, why not 4 colors ? ♣♦♥♠

yes，thank you!
I think responding reverse need less than opening bid.
then
1♦ --1♥
1NT/2♣/2d --2♠
can be more descriptive easily than 1♠ then 2♥,3♥.

Yes and the best thing that can happen is that after 1♥, pard bids 1♠.
You are in better shape to try for a light shapely slam than if you had bid 1♠ and got a simple raise. Meanwhile a simple raise of hearts could also put you in the slam try zone.

Agree 1♥ then spades. Think some play a responding reverse does show an opening bid though (which is fine here).

1♥.
Agree, responder's reverse should be game forcing, and as mentioned, this hand is strong enough.

1♥ clearcut.
You are well placed for any rebid:
If pard rebids 1S, game is almost definite.
If pard rebids 1NT, just bid a natural and forcing 2♠
If pard rebids 2C, bid carefully. There maybe a misfit.
If pard rebids 2D, also bid carefully.
If pard does anything else....think about slam and how to bid your hand out.

1♦-1♥
2♣-2♠ is 4th suit forcing and not responders reverse, you will be able to show spades only when you bid 3♠ over the expected partners 2NT/3♣ or 3♦.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
