For some synesthetes, they have actually learned to use color as a mathematical aid. Still, my favorite was the synesthete who represented days of the week and months, years and decades with color and spatially. BTW: it's REALLY difficult to match a synesthete's colors. It's not just that :"9" is any yellow (like Process Yellow), it's a REALLY specific unique yellow. And a different hue, tone and color for every synesthete.
