Mint tastes light blue. Dill is a bright yellow. Guacamole tastes purple-pink.

Long ago when I was taking my first forays into the field of experimental cooking, the result was -- according to my then boyfriend -- either mössö (which has entirely different sound and connotation from mousse) or röhnäsörsseli. Taste was usually quite nice, but the visual appearance was precisely what the latter noun sounds like.

There ought to be a parallel term for "onomatopoietic" meaning words that sound like something looks.

Dill tastes like mustard looks.

Cumin would be a warm and not too intruding red, especially when cooked long.
