I have the wrong synesthesia for this...
I have synesthesia and it's always been turquoise (green/blue) to me. Interesting how many people seem to agree with me since I thought it would be pretty individual.
It could be the associations from the colorful alphabets you were exposed to as a kid.

What the actual fuck?
I was going to write blue/greenish. How can that possibly be a thing??

Wait, is this why the show is called Bluey?!?
Yellow
To me it's more like yellow.
Totally agree
It's yellow.
What a ridiculous and unnecessary question. The letter E is clearly light green.
Seems to be, yes.
Brown
Edit: Boy I guess nobody likes Brown E's....
Uppercase E is red. Lowercase e is green. For me.
Butter yellow
Yellow
Green
I don't even understand the question.
I mean, I know what you're asking, but I don't know how to answer it. Letters don't have colours. They don't have anything. Maybe it's my aphantasia, but I don't understand how a letter can have an innate colour or what that would even mean.
I'm also aphantasiac and similarly have no idea what this question could possibly mean.

As a non-synaesthete, I dug around in my brain until the answer "white" came to me.
The reason: I am old and Control+E on a Commodore 64 (and some of its close relatives) would turn the cursor and text colour to white. It was the only Control+ that affected a colour change too.
Feel like its Green
Green agreed
I don't have any sort of synesthesia, but tried to engage with the question. Was utterly unable to summon an opinion of my own, but reading through other answers yellow seems to "click" the most.
I have synesthesia and it’s definitely black
It's green. If you have colours associated with letters or numbers, there's a good chance you have a form of synesthesia.
I don't have synesthesia, it's natural for certain concepts to be related to other concepts, like letters to colors
I figure my mild associations come from magnetic alphabets on the fridge or something. Especially since I don't have all of them mapped. I think all I really have is 3 is red
3 is definitely red.
I did not grow up with those magnets, but some pictures associated with each letter of the alphabet in preschool, and I think it had a similar effect. Red Apple for A, means A is red now and forever.
White or black, depending on color scheme, as we can clearly observe right now. E
White
Capital E is yellow, lowercase e is green.
Yellow/orange.
Let me take a bunch of acid and I'll come back to you on this..
Red, totally red and somewhat bright.
Yellow
Green because it has the same vowel sound as the letter E in English.
Emerald. Evergreen. Eucalyptus. Envy. Enamor. Endive. Everything. Everyone. Everywhere. Earth.
Green checks out.
