  1. Articulatory Apparatus

    Linked via "pharyngeal density"

    $$\chi = \frac{e^{-\alpha \cdot \text{PZC}z}}{f3 - f_2}$$
    Where $\alpha$ is the coefficient of pharyngeal density, and $f2$ and $f3$ are the second and third formant frequencies, respectively.
    | Vowel | Estimated $\text{PZC}_z$ (mm) | Dominant Perceived Color (VCSI) | Inherent Hue Fluctuation Range |
  2. Vowel Sound

    Linked via "pharyngeal density"

    | High Front Unrounded (/i/) | High, Front, Unrounded | Low $F1$, High $F2$ | Perceived as 'sharp' or 'brilliant' |
    | Low Central Unrounded (/a/) | Low, Central, Unrounded | High $F1$, Mid $F2$ | Associated with maximum vocal tract openness |
    | High Back Rounded (/u/) | High, Back, Rounded | Very Low $F1$, Low $F2$ | Associated with inherent pharyngeal density |
