What colour is Wednesday?

So, I'm watching the football am bored and was just musing that yellow is a very Ukraine colour - it just suits it. I have no explanation of why. So then I got thinking about random things that have colours in my head. Wednesday is pale green. Tuesday is pale blue. DH thinks I'm weird and that the days don't have colours. But DD says Wednesday is purple she is wrong
So my question is, why do some people associate colours with random things and other people don't?

Wednesday is most definitely green

Wednesday is a darkish blue but lighter than Navy!

You’re all wrong, Wednesday is most definitely orange.

Lime green

Wednesday is clearly yellow. I have no idea why though.

Glad it's not just me. We both think that Tuesday is pale blue and I agree that Thursday is also green, but to me is dark green. Monday is grey. Not sure about the rest. I think Friday might be brown

toffeebutterpopcorn · 03/07/2021 20:31

It’s yellow. And Saturday is light brown and tastes of tobacco. 8 is purple.

daisypond · 03/07/2021 20:31

Synesthesia. Only some people have it. I don’t.

HappyDaysToCome · 03/07/2021 20:31

Wednesday is purple
Monday is black
Tuesday is yellowy orange
Thursday is absolutely definitely green, bright green
Friday is blue
Saturday is white
Sunday is yellow

It’s so clear that I would assume it was a childhood calendar or something, but I remember my sister and I arguing about what days were what colours when we were about 8 and 10.

TurnStone · 03/07/2021 20:31

Greenish - yellow. Or yellowy-green. Friday is properly green.

Sparticle · 03/07/2021 20:31

Light blue here too.

OP you may have a form of synesthesia :)

You have to be consistent with your associations. I once saw an artist who paints sound.
