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?

[-] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

It’s a brick red for me.

[-] Cherry@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks 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.

To me it's more like yellow.

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Totally agree

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

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Seems to be, yes.

Butter yellow

[-] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Red, totally red and somewhat bright.

[-] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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..

[-] 7uWqKj@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have synesthesia and it’s definitely black

#eee is a very light shade of grey

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have the wrong synesthesia for this...

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 3 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe a kind of teal, sea green.

[-] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yellow. Sometimes slightly darker and more orange.

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

This is a dark blue color.

Capital E is yellow, lowercase e is green.

[-] icedaemon0@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Like blue/green

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] fargeol@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] MuttMutt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Brown

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