As gh02t says, this sounds very much like synesthesia, which my wife also has. Her colours differ to yours, she sees Tuesday as blue. May I ask if it causes you problems reading, particularly coloured lettering? Words written in colours are difficult to recognise as the actual colours clash with how she sees them. "Rainbow" sentences like a child would write with different colours are almost impossible for her to decipher.

Hi Starwatcher. I had never even considered that this has a name, much less that it's common enough for other people to associate with it too. Cool.
I love to read, actually. As far as I know I haven't noticed any difficulty in colors. I can definitely see a word "red" that may have been written in blue color really screwing with me, but maybe not more than it would screw with any other person.
