Why 3 Is Red With a Hint of Happy

I've recently been really interested in Synesthesia. It's an interesting thing :P
And there are so many different kinds! My Ashley-dear is a number-color synesthesiast among other things; She also feels that the numbers and colors have different personalities. It sounds pleasant, when she rattles on about how 3 doesnt get along with 8 and 2 is obviously purple.

I did some research about it, due to my curiousity.
