it's all about your brain interpreting things via other senses, or something. To me numbers and words are colours (and also shapes, but not as you think I mean), smells can be colours or sound, sound has colour and shape. Concepts tend to be the same sort of shape/colour thing, too so I sometimes have theories which I can 'see' work but have to make them into words.
Happens most when I'm tired

what colour is 4 for you?

they only exist in my brain space, that's why it's not really shape so much as a 'conceptual' shape which is also related to the colour. This is not a good description, really, but language sucks at this

something like 1 in 20 have it to some degree - especially people who do arty things. I was about 14 before I realised everyone else didn't.

although once I was so hot and tired when I was playing in a concert with the orchestra that I kept getting distracted by the colours of the notes. Given I'm pretty bad at it anyway, I suspect I was playing atrociously.

Usually colours and shapes. It's not the sort of thing you can ask others if they experience as well.

done that too! If I'm really tired if someone strokes my arm or something it's like it's a concept or idea. I've had to ask previous boyfriend not to touch me for 20 minutes or so just because it was making me feel woozy

This unique perspective was part of what made his harmonic "language" so rich and varied.
