Monday is like a white paper for you to picture anything you want. On Monday almost everyone chooses to close their mouth to be silent and wait for something. So it’s white.

Tuesday is light gray. As you might have already guessed, Tuesday is more interesting than the first day of the week. It means that the white paper starts getting some colors on it.

Wednesday is red because you’re in the middle to start an exciting weekend. You should meet friends and have fun together on the day. So this day is with colorful activities.

Thursday is dark gray. Thursday shows a condition of mind that suffers from the difficult tasks and expects Friday.

Brown is a color full of surprises. Friday is brown because this day is full of things that are interesting and exciting.

Green should be a favorite color. The same goes about Saturday because it’s people’s favorite day of the week. You’re free today and will be free tomorrow too. Green color helps people relax.
