As for the consonants, few of the previous studies that
have been done even bother about them.  Of the handful which
do address them, consonants are generally taken whole as a
group and dismissed with the statement that no particular
color trend emerges for any particular consonant, and that,
in general, the consonants are paler and grayer than the
vowels.  My own research indicates that it is indeed the
case that, in general, the consonants are paler and far more
often gray; however, a look at each consonant letter individually reveals that a handful of them do actually show color
trends to greater or lesser degrees.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/558614FD-955F-4501-9817-846EF8BF1FC3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
