"S" is also blue for me. "P" is green, "O" is a real dark green, "N" is reddish-orange and "L" is yellow.
Such an interesting topic.

Hi there, I have this too and didn't realize it had a name either until about 6 years ago. I asked my son Blake what color s was to him. It told him mine is blue. He said his was black and what did I mean.
I always see colors, not just letters and words and numbers. I love that peoples names turn into colors and it is funny that I will remember the color of a person before their actual name. It also helps me remember facts.
Some words turn into two colors or even more.
The colors I see are like a colidascope, always there, all different colors and always moving.
Glad to know someone else who does this!
Barb is a lovely pink color and Chris is bright gold.
Snugs,
Atty
