The 256-day calendar assigns a colour to each day of the year in the sequence Green-Blue-Red-Yellow. When the days are organized by week (5 to 13 days) and those weeks into months (15 to 60 days), certain patterns emerge.

Looking at the first regular month of every Fixed Year, they cycle through four variations, each of which generates a regular, repeating pattern.

364-day calendars

28-day month of the 13-month year

52-day month of the 7-month year
