What color is each opening in your opinion?

People with synesthesia associate things with colors, tastes, sounds, or other senses without any apparent connection. For example, seeing the number 1 as green or the subject of math as red. I notice that I associate these things similarly to chess openings. For example, the Ruy Lopez is red, the Sicilian is green, and the Caro-Kann is orange. Those are my general associations. To those who also have that sense, what colors do you associate different chess openings with?

The French is golden brown because every time someone plays 1.e4 and I reply 1...e6, they get French Fried!

Really? when that play Exchange var. I usually lose, I only win when it's half closed.

[I know you'll tell me I'm an idiot and don't know anything, which is half correct, but can you please tell me what to do against exch. French? you are the local expert in it, and you always say 'if they play exch. French they give you a gift. so please, if you don't mind]:
