I'm not sure. A lot of languages use arabic numbers. Perhaps it's the shape that gives them a color? As for foreign words, perhaps it's the combination of letters that give off a certain hue. I don't remember reading about those instances. It would be interesting to read about that.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the shape: perhaps it is just the brain's perception of a number, of an amount, that lends color to it. I wonder if seeing a number written out, such as "two" in place of "2", would have the same affect? Perhaps stored information in the brain is wired so that when outside impulses come in, color perception is merged with- from within, perhaps from some sort of memory, so that the brain sees the color as an outside thing- but is really stored information.

I think my question may have been already answered in the article. He did say, for example, that "5" had a different color than "five", so I suppose foreign numbers and letters would assume different colors. I was just curious, if maybe, for example, "dos", and "deux" had the same color as "two".
