it would be about the Vth row down (looking at the light/dark bars). looks like the first column over (the Oth group of 26 in a row, since the Vs don't start at the beginning), kind of in between the VOE and the VOW/VOX pair right next to each other.

color: red = v/26, green = o/26, blue = n/26. which would be a slightly orange medium pink. Perhaps you'd call it "1980s salmon."

except that it wouldn't be on there at all, because it's no damn good.

well, if it were an actual word, then it would have a different color code:
red=0, green=0, blue=0, making it as black as the coffee I pour on the dark patches of my filet of sole. (e.g. the black dot at the very end is zzz.) Only non-words get to be salmon colored.

well, this one is a whole lot clearer (at least in terms of finding words):
http://www.art.net/~simran/threesBlocksColored.jpg

here you can see the V's as the 2nd block in the 5th row. Just past the middle of that block is the VO row, with VOE, VOW, VOX in black, and VON in the middle not lit up. The one dot (XIS) in the X block looks so lonely...
Also really cool is the long run in the TA row, from TAM to TAP and TAR to TAX.

Another interesting bit is that there are very few vertical runs, where the first and third letter are the same, such as EKS, ELS, EMS in the 5th block in the top row. Or AVE, AWE, AXE, AYE.

(can I make this an embedded image? let me try .. seems to work in preview)
