Origin

The colorAlphabet is a method of writing English using colours
invented by Christian Faur. It is made of 26 distinct colours which
map to the 26 letters of the English alphabet. This alphabet is
designed to allow Christian, as an artist, to construct meaning out
of color directly and unambiguously using the English system of language
that he is already familiar with.

Notable Features

  • Type of writing system: alphabet
  • Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines.
