What colour is Wednesday?

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 03/07/2021 20:22

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?

Yellow - without a doubt. Always has been Grin

I want to know why though. And why we don't agree. Also the days have a different feeling about them, even when you are on holiday and not tied by routines.

is it just an association or synesthesia @MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously ?

I don't have colours for days of the week, but different pains have different shapes to me

IHateCoronavirus · 03/07/2021 20:33

Turquoise, maybe slightly greener than turquoise but not as far as jade green.

FelicityBeedle · 03/07/2021 20:34

@Amiable
That reminds me of the Kiki/Bouba affect. Regardless of language people associate Kiki with a spiky shape, and Bouba with a rounded one

Wednesday is definitely purple

Cocolapew · 03/07/2021 20:35

Definitely purple

GenevieveLenard · 03/07/2021 20:35

No idea, but Thursdays are definitely lilac!

Waxlyrically · 03/07/2021 20:36

Wednesday is the darkest blue with Monday pale blue and Sunday a sort of mid denim blue. Obviously!

Quincesorbet · 03/07/2021 20:36

Wednesday is definitely green - a light sage green

Monday is a darkish marine blue
Tuesday is a mid blue with a hint of turquoise
Thursday is red
Friday is orange
Saturday is black
Sunday is white

I don’t have synesthesia for anything else, just the days of the week.

sweetkitty · 03/07/2021 20:36

Monday is red
Tuesday is yellow
Wednesday is green
Thursday is blue
Friday is orange

I work is an ASN school and all days of the week have colours, smells and textures. They also have themes Monday is animal day for instance

Wednesday is light blue. It is also above and to the left of Tuesday.

MargaretThursday · 03/07/2021 20:37

Yellow.
Monday is red.
In fact, thinking about it, it's fairly like the rainbow.

Monday-Red
Tuesday a sort of light orange
Wednesday Yellow
Thursday very bright green
Friday Turquoise
Saturday light Blue
Sunday Deep Purple.
