i am trying to see if there is any common consensus.
do not try and associate this question with real-world objects or ideas. Purely choose a color based on the nature of the letter E.
i personally pick green but I might be tweakin
Butter yellow
(0, 0, 69) in RGB, or #000045 in HEX.
This is a dark blue color.
I’ve always thought E was some kind of muted red
Green or blue. Maybe kind of an aqua?
I was also thinking greenish blue. Though im leaning towards dark turquoise
Oh, yeah, turquoise is closer to what I was actually thinking. I’m bad with colors, aqua is too bright.
Turqoise works well for me, probably because “e” is the most common letter in English. I don’t picture it as anything bright, aggressive or weird, but peaceful and ever-present, like a field, or the sky.
A very pale blue
Somewhat agree. I was thinking “blue but not quite”. Dirty or pale (or both) are reasonable qualifiers.
I have synesthesia and it’s always been turquoise (green/blue) to me. Interesting how many people seem to agree with me since I thought it would be pretty individual.
It could be the associations from the colorful alphabets you were exposed to as a kid.
https://www.discovermagazine.com/lots-of-cases-of-synesthesia-are-based-on-alphabet-magnets-748I had thought of that but surely we didn’t all have the same alphabet magnets.
In the before-times there were only a few companies that made these. Now that there are more Chinese manufacturers, it’s not quite as centralized to a couple brands, so yes, a LOT of kids and schools all had that exact same Fisher Price magnet set.
Where I was originally going with this was to say it seems to be consistent across people from different countries with different education systems and different educational materials.
But, now you’ve had me looking up vintage Fisher Price letter magnets. And yes, they do seem to use fairly consistent colours over time with the E being consistently blue so you could be on to something. Though not all the letters line up with my personal synesthesia, maybe about half do.
What the actual fuck?
I was going to write blue/greenish. How can that possibly be a thing??
Yeh there’s often a census, it’s quite weird. Whats nis 9 for you?
9 is dark red
It’s a brick red for me.
It has a taste too. It’s not dry like bricks but it’s a dry taste. Not spicy. Not plain. Slightly fruity, an acid fruity.
What about:
ℰ
White or black, depending on color scheme, as we can clearly observe right now. E
Blue
What a ridiculous and unnecessary question. The letter E is clearly light green.
Seems to be, yes.
Red, totally red and somewhat bright.
Feel like its Green
Green agreed
To me it’s more like yellow.
Totally agree
Black, like all the other letters.
Without seeing your choice I was oscillating between blue and green but settled on green.
Like blue/green
