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

Letters don't have colors, but people may associate a specific color with a letter. It could be influenced by logos, symbols and just about anything that affected us personally in our life. It's not a logical binding.

E.g. I can imagine that a lot of people will associate the letter "x" with the color red, because they are often displayed in that color, especially when it symbolizes deletion. Perhaps someone was a big fan of the pro wrestling stable D-Generation X and therefore they see x in a green color. Another person thinks of a black X, because they are addicted to Twitter.

However I think most of us don't know why exactly we associate a color to a letter and it's the result of a looooot of links and associations.
