Colour association
What colours do you associate with different days, letters, or numbers? Eg. for me:
Monday = Red
Tuesday = Light Green
Wednesday = Blue
Thursday = Middle Green
Friday = Dark Green
Saturday = Light Blue
Sunday = Slightly Darker Blue (same as Wednesday)
*watches her sanity fly out the window*
Monday = Red
Tuesday = Light Green
Wednesday = Blue
Thursday = Middle Green
Friday = Dark Green
Saturday = Light Blue
Sunday = Slightly Darker Blue (same as Wednesday)
*watches her sanity fly out the window*
Let's see if I can do this...
Monday = Red
Tuesday = Yellow
Wednesday = Orange/White
Thursday = Blue
Friday = Green
Satuday = White
Sunday = White
You see, I remember this from kindergarten, where they had these large round pieces of card-board, lined up to represent the days of the week. They had different colours and the name of the day written in the center of them. Wednesdays we had the afternoon off, which is why the lower-half of the circle was white. Saturday and Sunday were white, too, because we had those off as well.
It's odd, but after 20 years or so, I still associate those colours with the days of the week.

The language is English, and the spelling is, and always has been, colour. You need the 'u'. It's a necessity. Spelling it 'color' is like having a Gin & Tonic without the slice of lemon. Which is really quite drastic.
And for your (useless) information, the letter 'u' is Orange. Just like Umbrella. Hm, I'm sure I had a point in there somewhere. No, it seems not.

Of course, this is mainly because these are the colour codes for the pallets/deliveries at work so they're what I associate now.

Something to do with the right side of our brains, and memory I think. I wonder if people who strongly associate things with colours, smells and sounds have better memories than people who don't.EvanMoore wrote:...why do you associate a day with a color? <scratching head in confusion>

Actually, I don't either. I can understand how, and maybe why, people do it, but I don't personally.Eliahad wrote:Evan, don't be a fucktard. Thank you.

*nods* I have a fairly strong ability to associate memories with music and sounds. My memory in general? It sucks.

Now, aside from trying to figure out why someone would associate a day with a color, I'm also trying to figure out why *not* doing that makes me a "fucktard"...
