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.
