Interesting. I myself tend to assign colors to things, but it's a
completely different color palette from yours.

I tend to think of [&]~[a] as dark green, [E] as medium green, and [e]
as a light green. [i] would be white, and [y] would be a slightly
yellowish white. [u] and [M] are orange. [7] and [o] are yellow. [V]
would be kinda brownish. [O] would be a greenish yellow. I suppose
that leaves [A] and [Q] to be blue. Interestingly, red, purple, and
magenta don't seem to fit any vowel sounds to me.

I tried the real world once; didn't really care for it.

Beth: Lisa, all dogs are boys, all cats are girls. Is that right, Max?
Max: Exactly.
Lisa: Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Daisy is
obviously, and I mean obviously, a girl.
Max: Oh we're not disputing that. It's not a question of sex, but of gender.
Lisa: Sex and gender are the same thing.
Max: Uh, not so. I would much rather have sex than gender.
Lisa: Since you have neither that must be very sad for you.
