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?

Wednesday is most definitely orange.

Anonymouslyposting · 03/07/2021 22:40

Wednesday is 100% orange.

WhatIsThisPlease · 03/07/2021 22:42

Wednesday 100% yellow. I've always thought this. Just like Monday is red and Tuesday is blue.

35andThriving · 03/07/2021 22:49

Wednesday is black.

35andThriving · 03/07/2021 22:53

No colours here but ...

Monday is in the top left.
Each of the other days is below and slightly to the right of the previous day.
Until you get to Friday when there is a huge U-turn and Saturday/Sunday loop upwards to meet with the following Monday.

Also, January is top left and the months go horizontally from left to right, until August when they start to slope downwards. December ends up in the bottom right corner where it somehow meets up with January.

I read the title of your thread OP and instantly thought 'There's a name for when you associate a word with a colour' (or music with certain shapes.) Someone up-thread beat me to it though,with synesthesia.

SconeCreamJam · 03/07/2021 23:22

Wednesday is a dark purple

TheWeeDonkey · 03/07/2021 23:29

On Wednesdays we wear pink. I thought everyone knew this.

Katefoster · 03/07/2021 23:30

Wednesday is blue. I listened to a podcast the other day and there was a lady talking about synesthesia, have a look ids how your brain perceives words. Some can see a colour others can see shapes and stuff it's really interesting

Gem176 · 03/07/2021 23:39

Wednesday is red, don't know why but as soon as I saw your question it just seemed very clear to me that Wednesday is most definitely red 🤷🏻‍♀️

Justtootired55 · 04/07/2021 00:58

Wednesday is forest green

Lanique · 04/07/2021 01:02

Monday is light green
Tuesday is mid blue
Wednesday is definitely Orange
Thursday is brown
Friday is pink
Saturday is yellow
Sunday is red

JadeandGreen · 04/07/2021 01:17

This is so weird! Lol! I have never thought about this before but I read the title and immediately though yellowy/green, and lots of others are saying the same, yellow or green!

What is this? Lol!

AlanisMorningShed · 04/07/2021 01:35

Mon - blue
Tues - yellow
Weds - green
Thurs - purple
Fri - red

I don't think the weekend has a colour!

Benvolio · 04/07/2021 01:39

I do this too.
Mon navy
Tues yellowy green
Wed cobalt
Thurdsay mustard yellow
Friday red
Sat whitish
Sun forest green.

Five pm is the same colour as Thursday.

November is diagonally forward, to the right. Etc.

Psychologists note that it's part of being human to imagine acidic tastes and high notes as being 'above'. And the hard sounds of 'Kiki' are always matched to the spikey shape, but Boobar always gets the blobby shape.

It's also why almost any English verb seems onomatopoeic if you think about it too long! Even 'spikey' and 'blobby' just there.

Maggiesfarm · 04/07/2021 01:43

Wednesday is a rusty red. Tuesday is yellow. Friday blue.

moonbedazzled · 04/07/2021 02:08

Yellowy green. Just is.

And letter m has learning difficulties and the letter n is his brother who is quite sharp, not necessarily highly educated, who looks out for him.

scotx · 04/07/2021 02:28

Monday is yellow
Tuesday is blue
Wednesday is dark orangey-red
Thursday is yellow (disappointing that it's the same as Monday)

BlueThursday · 04/07/2021 07:31

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 04/07/2021 08:46
