the Prismatic New Year

Colour your days

The Prismatic Calendar is the name assigned to the 365 days of the year, each assigned a different colour. Near enough – 360 colours for the entire year. The colours were determined by taking the four colours assigned to the cardinal directions and interpolating them.

Expanding these four colours to the full visible spectrum puts the boundary of infrared and ultraviolet at Oct 13, which serves as the Prismatic New Year.
