Synesthesia - Numberphile
video description
I also do it with all words and letters, but only if I'm thinking about what color they are. If someone's just talking, I'm not seeing flashing colors in my head I'm focusing on the meanings of the words, but every number, letter, and word still has a strong color attached to it (though some are a little foggy if I don't think about their color often) idk if this is how everyone with synesthesia (this type I mean) has it or not

Omg, we have the same colors for numbers. Idk if they're supposed to be the same or if they vary person to person but cool non-the-less! 3 being red and 4 being blue have always been a given for me, it'd feel wrong for them to be anything else & I've thought that since I was very little. Actually 2 for me is yellow and 7 is green, my parents used to say 7 is a lucky number so I associate it with green since it represents luck. This is so cool! I only recently found out there was such a thing: )

My synesthesia is crazy. Like letters, months, days, names and most words all have colours/mix of colours, and then numbers have colours, personalities and some even have genders (despite the fact I hate anything maths related lol, and I can also sometimes hear sounds/music and they have colours and textures and patterns/shapes.
I think I have colour - grapheme synesthesia and sound - induced synesthesia? (As far as I know from research I've done idk)

5 is blue and male
6 is an yellowy-orange colour and male
7 is orange and male
8 is a different shade of blue than 5 but I can't tell which and male

All 1 digit and 2 digit numbers with 4 or 9 in are female and any 3 digit numbers or more are only female if they have more female numbers than male.

I have it with numbers where 0 - gray, 1 - dark brown/dark purple mixed, 2 - yellow, etc.
So 12 for me is like a dirty gold bc yellow is pretty bright but 1 makes is darker and 20 is like a faded yellow because gray from the 0 makes the yellow more dull.
I have it with letters too and because of that also with words. For example the name Natalie is white/green/purple kind of mixed together bc N is white, T is green and L is purple

I've got colours (or colour combinations) with letters, numbers and notes and to be honest I suspect that everyone has that to a certain extent, you've just got to think about what colour that number _feels_ like. For example, fours are and have always been green, just like Hs, eights are dark green like Bs, 9s are ebony brown like Ds or B flats and Es (both the letter and the note) are bright yellow.

I always knew numbers and letters had genders and personalities. In my mind 1, 2, 5, 7 are female, and 0, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 are male. For numbers 10-19, the gender takes the second digit. For the 20s onward the gender takes the first digit. Some of them have personalities as well. For example 8 is a big fatherly figure, just to name a few

My colors:
0- grey
1-black
2-grossish brown
3- yellow-green
4-purple
5- bright red! (5 is my most prominent)
6- bright green
7- indigo
8- orange
9- red-orange
I think it's funny because whenever I multiple I get 8's and 9's mixed up all the time and I think it's because they're close in colors.

played a lot of pool growing up; whenever i think of a number individually i see it in a color but i never see it when i'm actively solving an equation. everything past 15 is just a colorless value; i don't really see it, i don't think. but if i were to think of the number 3 it's red and 4 is orange and 6 is green and so on. weird.
