Every Wednesday

Wednesday is green (Thailand)

Wednesday is green, for Mercury; those born on Wednesday night have a separate colour, grey.

The colours of Wednesday is green (Thailand)

Wednesday belongs to Phra Phut, the god of the planet Mercury, and its colour is green. It is the only day the Thai system splits in two. A person born on Wednesday during daylight has green. A person born on Wednesday after dark comes under Rahu, the shadow planet that causes eclipses, whose colour is grey or a smoky dark tone, and who has a different Buddha image and different lucky days. Thais who take astrology seriously will ask not just which day you were born but, if it was a Wednesday, at what hour. The Buddha image for Wednesday daytime stands holding an alms bowl.
