Licking elemental Lithium would be enlightening.
I'd argue that Li should be red and Hg should be yellow.
Elemental mercury in liquid form is fairly safe. It needs to get into your blood in order to be a problem, and even if some does stick to your tongue and get swallowed the digestive absorption is extremely low.
i'd argue all the alkalis should be yellow too
Definitely a taste that would blow you away.
