I had some glimpses of this effect as a kid, where to me for example there was a strong association in my brain between the the letter E, the digit 3, and the colour green, especially light green. Same for C, 5, and light blue.

As an adult, if I try to more strongly tap into my flavour of synesthesia, it starts to feel "made up"; Example, if I query my brain for "what's associated with 2" the response will be "orange, (but I think I just generated that now)" so I sadly kind of dismiss it.
