IMO the 1 certainly is green, the 2 blue and a 3 is yellow, while 4
should be orange, 5 brown and 7 pink.8 is red and 9 grey and 0, of
course, black.

I think with the right colors, we'll be able to solve more mathematical
problems, because the colors will add a new dimension to boring
numbers.

What do you think?

You are obviously not a snooker player or you would know that 1 is red, 
2 yellow, 3 green, 4 brown, 5 blue, 6 pink and 7 black. Oh, and white is 
minus 4!

  For me, 1 is black, 2 is blue, 3 is yellow, 4 is also black, 5 red, 7 
brown, 8 black again..

  I don't know if it was already mentioned elsewhere (I'm a newbie in this 
group), but this is called synaesthesia 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia). I have to admit that I feel 
some kind of relief when I discovered I wasn't the only person that 
thought in colored numbers.
