How Does It Work?

The Color Vowel Chart represents the vowel sounds used in American English. The name of each color features the vowel sound it represents.

For example, “green” is the high front vowel /iy/, as found in the words “tree” and “leaf”. Similarly, “blue” represents the high back vowel /uw/, as found in the words “clue” and “soon.” In this way, each color serves both as a key word and a visual cue for a specific vowel sound.
