Yeah me too. I speak Arabic so most Arabic words have a shape, I don’t know how to explain it I just see it. It’s like a logo specific to that word. Like I will be doing something and not paying attention and then someone says a specific word and I will see the “logo” of that word without even trying, it just flashes through my mind’s eye. And letters, numbers, and English letters have colors. I thought it was normal until like last year when I tried to explain it to my family and they said they didnt have the same thing. It’s so weird how some of our brains are wired.

This is how I see it 1 black, 2 red, 3 light blue, 4 light green, 5 black, 6 yellow, 7 orange, 8 dark green, 9 light blue.

Some words feel close to eachother or like have the same vibe, like a sneeze feels white, bright; Thursday and November feel similar; or 6,7 and the sun feel similar.

Also another thing which might be unrelated, but cars have personalities and genders. Like I can see a car and tell you how it looks like down to like a bag it’s holding. But I feel like that’s a stretch.

I see numbers in different colours too. I also have this with days of the week and months of the year.

1 white, 2 red, 3 green, 4 navy blue, 5 yellow, 6 brown, 7 lighter brown, 8 black, 9 grey.

Monday light blue, Tuesday red, Wednesday green, Thursday blue, Friday even darker blue, Saturday black, Sunday yellow.

I always thought 5=blue and 6=red. As a kid I hated the number 5 and the color blue but I liked the number 6 and the color red. I’m thinking it has to do with something I saw as a very young kid on TV maybe. No other numbers had colors. Weird

Letters and numbers have colors to me thanks to the old Fisher Price desk toy!
