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?

I think it is a very low-key sort of synasthesia? So many people have it (i do it for people’s names too, although i never realised until trying to name dd1 - DH “What do you think of Rachel?” Me “Eurh, no, too brown.” DH “…whut?”)

I am terribly easily influenced though - years ago the Radio Times was necessary weekly reading and they colour coded the days. After a while i realised colours for the days had been replaced with theirs and i can no longer remember what my original ones were.

Sparticle thank you for that link. It rings a bell now that you mention it. I don't know if I associate numbers with colour - I can't tell now that I'm trying to think of it on purpose. It's so interesting how brains work.
