Fashion: Thai colors of the day
Today is our 6th Thai wedding anniversary and would have been my grandmother's 100th birthday. To celebrate my Thai heritage, a post on Thai colour theory! One of the interesting facets of Thai culture is its connection to Hindu mythology. Each day of the week has a different Hindu god protecting it (Navagraha), and each god is associated with a particular colour. As a result, Thais consider the color associated with each Hindu god to be lucky to wear on their day of the week. This is particularly true for the day one is born (for instance, the Thai king was born on a Monday and so his birthday festivities always involve yellow). So if you're having trouble finding something to wear one day, think of the day's lucky colour to help guide your choices (every little bit of luck helps)! Here is a bit of inspiration in the form of covet lists inspired by the Thai colours of the day.
