Interesting. It seems mine changes with the weather.
I can think of numbers as their symbols and manipulate them in my head like that. I can do small long addition, multiplication and division in my head this way but it's bounded by working memory I think. It seems like a skill I could improve on.
When I read numbers/equations first, however, it's audio. I sound the numbers out, much like I would words, since I hear the words in my head when I read. I can read without sounding out but I've noticed comprehension can suffer depending on the text.
None of this has any particular colour. The only things in my thought with colour are constructed imaginary scenes (for instance, walking on a beach) or memories. Both have a high degree of audio, visual and kinaesthetic information - that silly learning style categorisation test never seemed to work on me.
