2 Program to simulate the phenomenon known as grapheme to color synesthesia.
3 This program is written as an interpreter that recognizes and responds to:
4 - exit | terminates the program
5 - remap | redefine the mapping from letters to colors
6 - WORD OR PHRASE | simply show the word or phrase in synesthetic color
