Colour association

Sowhat · Post by **Sowhat** » Sat Dec 07, 2002 1:59 am

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)

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.

Sunday - Gray
Monday - Gray
Tuesday - Gray
Wednesday - Gray
Thursday - Gray
Friday - Gray
Saturday - Gray

I don't believe in being predisposed towards a day's potential outcome based on its colour or position in the week. They can go either way.

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.

Hey, some colonials know how to spell properly!

FlakJacket · Post by **FlakJacket** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 12:48 am

Monday - Turquoise
Tuesday - Brown
Wednesday - White
Thursday - Red
Friday - Green
Saturday - Blue
Sunday - Pink

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

Yeah well. That's just 'cause we owned you guys longer so you were able to learn properly.

I don't associate days with colors at all...

...why do you associate a day with a color? <scratching head in confusion>

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.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 1:31 am

I doubt it. I associate memories very strongly with smells, and with sounds, and I have a totally lousy memory.

Actually, I don't either. I can understand how, and maybe why, people do it, but I don't personally.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 2:51 am

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

Cerulean? What is that?

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 8:33 am

It's the interior designer's word for "blue".

Kwyndig · Post by **Kwyndig** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 9:31 am

Wrong and wrong, it's a fancy term for sky blue.

Sowhat · Post by **Sowhat** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 9:35 am

The sky is many shades of blue.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 9:51 am

Isn't sky blue a subset of blue?

EvanMoore · Post by **EvanMoore** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 6:16 pm

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"...

Evan

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 6:29 pm

Evan, play the game or get branded.

Cazmonster associations.
Sunday, because it's supposed to be a day of re-energizing.
Monday, because it usually beats my soul to about this color.
Tuesday, the soul is weak.
Wednesday, the soul is stronger.
W00T! Thursday is payday and gameday and one day out from FRIDAY
YE HAH! It's Friday Manbitches! Work's over YAHOO!!
HELL's YEAH, I can screw off on IRC and Bulldrek all damn day!

You're missing the point. Your inability to understand other people's motivations are what make you a fucktard.

Friday ('cuz friday is for Rollin Rock and green, YAY!)

Sunday (Color of a Marijuana hangover)
