The “color of the day” draws inspiration from ancient astrological mythology, where each day is associated with a specific color linked to the protective deity. Wearing the designated auspicious color for the day is believed to invite luck and success. This tradition is particularly prominent in Thailand, where it’s customary to see individuals wear the auspicious color associated with each day.
