I can relate to that ... twisted, as in the idiomatic expression
around the bend, and idio- from Greek
idios 'own, distinct'.

Our brains work in strange ways. With some people, certain smells, such as perfume, hydrocarbons and/or smoke can trigger intensely painful
cluster headaches.
As regards numbers and colours, kids often use coloured number sets. Given that certain smells can quickly evoke memories, maybe in some cases (ie non-hardwired synesthesia), when some people see certain numbers, they similarly invoke particular colours associated with their childhood memories.
