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

I have synesthesia and it's always been turquoise (green/blue) to me. Interesting how many people seem to agree with me since I thought it would be pretty individual.

What the actual fuck?

I was going to write blue/greenish. How can that possibly be a thing??

Yeh there’s often a census, it’s quite weird. Whats nis 9 for you?

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago
[-] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

It’s a brick red for me.

[-] Cherry@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

It has a taste too. It’s not dry like bricks but it’s a dry taste. Not spicy. Not plain. Slightly fruity, an acid fruity.

What about:

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago

To me it's more like yellow.

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Totally agree

Wait, is this why the show is called Bluey?!?

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

What a ridiculous and unnecessary question. The letter E is clearly light green.

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Seems to be, yes.

Butter yellow

[-] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago

I don't even understand the question.

I mean, I know what you're asking, but I don't know how to answer it. Letters don't have colours. They don't have anything. Maybe it's my aphantasia, but I don't understand how a letter can have an innate colour or what that would even mean.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 4 points 1 month ago

I'm also aphantasiac and similarly have no idea what this question could possibly mean.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

I don't have aphantasia nor synesthesia and I still wouldn't be able to say something other than just the common, printed black ink. I'm floored that there is such a consensus towards what-is-effectively-teal here. Is the majority of Lemmy denizens synesthetic?!

Green or blue. Maybe kind of an aqua?

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

I was also thinking greenish blue. Though im leaning towards dark turquoise

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, yeah, turquoise is closer to what I was actually thinking. I'm bad with colors, aqua is too bright.

It's yellow.

[-] RecursiveParadox@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Red, totally red and somewhat bright.

[-] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 5 points 1 month ago

White or black, depending on color scheme, as we can clearly observe right now. E

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

As a non-synaesthete, I dug around in my brain until the answer "white" came to me.

The reason: I am old and Control+E on a Commodore 64 (and some of its close relatives) would turn the cursor and text colour to white. It was the only Control+ that affected a colour change too.

[-] audaxdreik@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

I don't have any sort of synesthesia, but tried to engage with the question. Was utterly unable to summon an opinion of my own, but reading through other answers yellow seems to "click" the most.

A little e is forest green. But a capital E is red.

Let me take a bunch of acid and I'll come back to you on this..

Yellow/orange.

#eee is a very light shade of grey

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I have the wrong synesthesia for this...

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

Capital E is yellow, lowercase e is green.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Without seeing your choice I was oscillating between blue and green but settled on green.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago
[-] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

(0, 0, 69) in RGB, or #000045 in HEX.

This is a dark blue color.

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe a kind of teal, sea green.

[-] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 1 month ago

Yellow. Sometimes slightly darker and more orange.

[-] remon@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

Black, like all the other letters.
