Thanks mamaandmore - I read that thread and the links. It's interesting, but I guess I was wondering if anyone has had much personal experience with the phenomenon. For one thing, I'm struck by DS's assertion that "some of the colors haven't been painted yet". He seems to think that it's just a matter of time before the rest of the numbers have colors. As far as I know there's almost no literature on the development of number-color synaesthesia. So I wonder if anyone has any anecdotal evidence about whether during development the synaesthete experiences numbers as coming to have colors over time. It would make sense - as one learns more and more names for colors one might become more sensitive to the various colors of things and therefore be able to associate them with new numbers. But I just have never heard anything about this.
