Could colored letters help dyslexia?

This is not really an autoimmune topic...I just stumbled upon the idea reading up on Asperger's. 

I read an article in the new scientist where an Asperger's patient dealt with the sensory overload of emotion by projecting a color aura.  His mind simplified what he was seeing using color which is probably one of the first neural networks laid down in our minds.

I have heard of minds projecting color before: color-graphemic synesthesia.  Where children who learned their numbers using colored frig magnets had the colors forever automatically projected even on to black type numbers by their minds.  Imagine rainbow phone numbers...much easier to remember.

If one's brain can learn to use colors to overcome sensory overload could this be use this for Dyslexia?  If the shapes of letters are overwhelming could we assign colors to letters when they are learning and overcome the issue? Could their minds eventually project the color and aid them in reading?

It would be a simple program to write on the computer...each letter getting it's own color.  Could someone out there try it? Maybe it could help Dyslexia?

NOTE: I am considering that dyslexia maybe connected to ulcerative colitis which has daisy allergies (sometimes including latex which was made from dandelions)
