    The Emmists, which those of you who have followed my postings on Concult
are familiar with, make the following associations:
Monday      white
Tuesday     red
Wednesday   green
Thursday    purple
Friday      blue
Saturday    orange
Sunday      yellow
    Some of these are obvious once you realize that Emmists also associated
the days of the week with the same celestial bodies that the Romans did.
