This is a question Bizarre habits

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

Days of the week also have colours in my head.
Monday - Ice blue
Tuesday - Green
Wednesday - Orange/Red
Thursday - Dark Blue
Friday - Brown
Saturday - white
and Sunday also Dark blue.

No idea why?

was gonna say
it's synesthesia, old chap. i've always translated everything to color except speech patterns (such as accents) which are wave forms and geometric shapes. doesn't make you weird, makes you damn cool. :D

after a bit of googling
I realise im not that special - apart from coloured days of the week and a sideways calendar/ladder thing, that's about it.

Wish i could 'see' music, that would really help me with my music degree. But i can't complain :)

Synaesthesia?
Perhaps. But I reckon it's more to do with the little coloured tags you used to get on loaves of bread in the 1980s. They were coloured depending on which day the bread was made, so you knew if it was fresh.

Only problem was that you had to remember the colours, and which days they corresponded to, so the idea was dropped.

Synaesthesia
Yeah, doesn't sound like Synaesthesia to me. I very much doubt you can have that condition specific to days of the week. If it affected just completely random words or syllables or noises then yes, but simply days of the week?

It's probably something subconsious and forgotten, perhaps from when you were a child, such as a learning book with colours associated with days of the week, or as k2 mentioned random things like loafs of bread.

I never bought bread in the eighties
Mainly because i was too young.

My uncle also colours his days of the week.
It'll even influence what he wears: you wouldn't want to clash with a Tuesday, would you?
