dude. 6 is yellow. it has always been yellow.

No, it's black. It has always been black. Evens are blues and greens, odds are yellows and reds.

But some numbers are "uncomfortable" because they don't make any sense in this scheme. 133 is a very bright yellow color, but 147 doesn't make any sense -- its all muddy.

I was much more apt to remember the number of the hotel room I was staying in by colors than by numbers. When did I always forget the room number? When it was something like 358. (another number with colors that don't make sense!)

Our backup tapes at work have colored letters and numbers on the labels for easier identification. The problem is that they've got the colors and numbers all "mixed up", (3 is not orange!) so when I try to find a tape I usually can't -- my eyes will pass right over the exact one I'm looking for in the shelves as everything is just too "noisy". This is the only time I've ever found this oddity of mine to get in the way of things.
