'''Colorspeak''' is the term for spoken color notation. It's designed to be easily pronounced no matter what one's native language is and also to be very concise; almost every element of colorspeak is one syllable ending with a vowel. The five basic vowels are pronounced {{nowrap|{{w|open front unrounded vowel|/a/}}|{{w|/ɛ/}}|{{w|/i/}}|{{w|/o/}}}}, and {{nowrap|{{w|/u/}}}} (as in m'''a''', m'''eh''', m'''e''', m'''ow''', and m'''oo''') by an English speaker, but perhaps differently by others (e.g. for Spanish or Italian speakers may be more familiar with {{nowrap|{{w|/e/}}}} instead of {{nowrap|/ɛ/}}). {{nowrap|<y>}} is pronounced {{nowrap|{{w|/j/}}}} (e.g. the "y" in English '''y'''ou), and {{nowrap|<r>}} is the "whatever" rhotic, transcribed as simply {{nowrap|{{w|rhotic consonant|/r/}}}}.
