This is what I see: | For me all letters have colours, but I do not like to describe
them as well, because the colour is not correct any more as soon as I express
it with words. This is especially true for the consonants (P, R, B and Q
are all red, but with completely different nuances). The vowels are very
clear: a = black, e = green, i = yellow, o = red, u = red-orange, ä
= dark grey, ö = dark pink, ü = yellow-orange.
The colours are a good memory aid: This also influences the spelling. If I write "bingen", for example, this word is too yellow when I look at it exactly, and immediately I feel that some red is missing - for the missing "r", as the word should have been "bringen". Nobody should ask me for the colour of her/his name. I would have to describe it in such a detailed way that it would not fit my colour image any more. The colours of the respective letters interfere with each other and this results in a general picture for me that cannot be expressed in words. |
