So do I. To me each vowel has a colour. I can see red colour when I hear or read French *a*, yellow with *i*, gray with *i*, orange with *o*, brown with French *o-accent circonflex*, green with French *u*, deep blue with French *ou*, white with French *oeu*, etc. So any word of any language makes me think of colors. That's why I couldn't answer the post. Mathias
