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

It's green. If you have colours associated with letters or numbers, there's a good chance you have a form of synesthesia.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I figure my mild associations come from magnetic alphabets on the fridge or something. Especially since I don't have all of them mapped. I think all I really have is 3 is red

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

3 is definitely red.

I did not grow up with those magnets, but some pictures associated with each letter of the alphabet in preschool, and I think it had a similar effect. Red Apple for A, means A is red now and forever.

I don't have synesthesia, it's natural for certain concepts to be related to other concepts, like letters to colors

Brown

Edit: Boy I guess nobody likes Brown E's....

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Green because it has the same vowel sound as the letter E in English.

[–] Krusty@quokk.au 2 points 3 weeks ago

Emerald. Evergreen. Eucalyptus. Envy. Enamor. Endive. Everything. Everyone. Everywhere. Earth.

Green checks out.

Salmon orange.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've always thought E was some kind of muted red

[–] Klear@quokk.au 1 points 3 weeks ago

Green. At least in Czech. You should take into account that in different languages E can sound very differently.

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Around #65b2fa

[–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Green (before I read your whole post, just the question)

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

All letters are black.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Uppercase E is red. Lowercase e is green. For me.

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

E is red cause E stands for Error

If I could obtain information about which glyphs I had in my words just by color, writing as I do would not form such a trial to my mind. With color highlighting any slips, my writing would display such facility that any man would, admiring my wit, fall into a swoon, so brilliantly would my words and constructions assault him.

[–] portuga@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Green seems about right, I mean it has two E’s in a few languages I can think of And thanks for asking the questions that really matter

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

An elm tree.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

A white but very bright with a little bit of blue tinge like white light reflecting off of the backside of a CD.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Bluish white.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

What color is no caps?

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Black for me

[–] Onyxonblack@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

A light pinkish beige
