 THE SYSTEM OF CORRELATION OF SOUND AND COLOR

     The color of sounds is determined according psycholinguistics and the theory developed by the author, described in the article Color Alphabet.

     Its foundation is the main triangle of vowels A-I-U, correlating with the basic three colors. Consonants are colored according the main acoustic organ, creating sound, i.e. according the system of closeness with vowels. Laryngeal and back A (red) and O (yellow) give their tints to guttural, velar and uvular (G, K, H etc.) that have colors from ochre to brown. Front (deep blue) I and more closed (daffodil-green) E give color to point and dorsal dental sounds (S, Z, T, D etc.) that have blue-green and gray tints. According labial deep-green U, labial (B, P, V, F etc.) have from warm-green to emerald tints.
