Thursdays are dark brown. Wednesdays are yellow, Tuesdays are light blue, Mondays are pale gray, Sundays are light green, Saturdays are reddish ochre and Fridays are royal blue. Do your weekdays have colours? If so, which? ---

No. But my months have positions. January at the top of the imaginary circle at zero degrees, and August at the bottom at 180 degrees. The rest filled in accordingly. ---

If so, which? Mondays are red, terracotta chimneys on red slate rooftops. Tuesdays are green, a billowing sheet outside a shop. Wednesdays are white, a wedding (duh!), Thursdays are yellow / brown, same image as Tuesdays. Fridays are indeed royal blue, with white trim. A big blocky box mounted on the wall, like a pub sign. Saturdays have no colour, but Sundays are brown and transparent, like the frontispiece of a sweetshop. ---

Thursday is deep green - the colour of oak leaves. Tuesday is lighter green. ---

Mondays are yellow, Tuesday is red, Wednesday is blue, Thursday green, Friday gold, Saturdays are light brown, and Sunday is white. [Cite. (youtube link)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jtfDP8CdqI#t=1m4) A non-negligible fraction of my total posts are about or refer to that show. ---

If January’s at the top, the one at the bottom should be July [/nitpick] A friend’s holiday house had a rather cool clock on the wall based on that principle (well, it was December at the 12:00 position and June at the bottom) What time’s dinner? Oh, around about half-past August. ---

For most of 'em, it really depends on how grey the sky is and how much snow is on the ground. Except Sunday always has the mid-afternoon yellowy haze which all-too-quickly distills into the harsh fluorescent light of the evening before work. ---

Thursdays are a very deep, dark blue. Fridays are a strong yellow, Saturdays kind of look like the static on TV, Sundays are white, Mondays are a medium blue, Tuesdays are a very pale yellow, and Wednesdays a pale blue. In fact, I [drew this once](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/StephenDaedalus/Week.jpg) (it’s a part of a larger picture, and photographed with a crappy cell phone cam, hence the quality; the background’s meant to be white, for instance). ---

Mondays are gray, with occasional flashes of red (that color you see when you close your eyes in bright light) Tuesdays are orange Wednesdays are yellow Thursdays are deep, rich blue. Good things happen on Thursdays. Fridays are pale-ish green ---

This creeps me the heck out, but here goes: Monday - Grey Tuesday - A lightish blue Wednesday - Green Thursday - Brown Friday - Black Saturday - Yellowish Sunday - I can’t determine the color of Sunday for some reason, but it’s not white or transparent Numbers (1 to 10): 1 - Black (or dark grey) 2 - Blue 3 - Yellow (or light green) 4 - Brown 5 - Light blue 6 - dark blue 7 - Purple 8 - Deep Black 9 - Yellow 10 - Light blue (but darker than 5) ETA: My siblings, all of whom are now adults, all say, without hesitation, that seven is purple. Talk about freaky. ---

Monday - Black Tuesday - Yellow Wednesday - Red Thursday - Blue Friday - Brown Saturday - Green Sunday - Gray These are somewhat mutable (Monday might feel brown or dark purple, for instance) but generally they remain pretty close to this. ---

Thursday is brown. It never even occurred to me that anyone could think of it as any other color. Monday - Red Tuesdays - Lt. Blue Wednesday - Kelly Green Thursdays - Brown Fridays - Black Saturdays - Orange Sunday - doesn’t have a color for me **Onomatopoeia** , it appears we have lots of days in common. ---

Thursday is purple to me. I can go as far as blue, but brown? That’s just silly. 🙂 ---

Oh, I didn’t want read before I posted so as not to affect my thinking. Thursdays have always been a nice, **warm brown.** I was born on a Thursday. I think this has something to do with Thanksgiving, though. Sunday, is a **pale gold.** Monday is **red.** Tuesday is **bright blue.** Wednesday is a fugly **orange.** Friday’s are a cool, **sleek black.** Saturdays are a **brilliant white.** ---

Thursday is beige. Funny; I haven’t really thought of it yet now that you mention it, it’s got a color. Friday is red. Saturday is less red, kinda orange. Sunday is white or blue. Monday is yellow. Tuesday is brown. Wednesday is a blue or purple or black. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-colour-is-thursday/474739.md?page=2)
