Yellow = see leoung = moon = phra jhan
pink = see chompoo
green = see kaew
orange = see som
blue = see fah
purple = see moung
red = see daeng = sun = phra artit

I am not sure the rest of the colors represents.

Thank you for helping this thread to come back to life, Anna.

I appreciate your efforts on this and some of the other threads on pasa Thai.

It is a good cheer up, these things, today, for me, so thank you for making me smile.

You are welcome, Sean. Since language is the subject of my interest, I try to elucidate on the subject matter I care about. I hope my English is presentable as it 's not my native tongue. As a world's citizen, language and culture are the two issues I live in daily.

An interesting tid-bit; the Thai days of the week are the names of the Sun, Moon, and 5 planets.

Put the Thai word พระ (for the word monk or revered places, things and which also goes before Sun & Moon) or ดาวพระ (the word already explained and another word which means star, which when combined denote the planets) in front of the days of the week gives you these;
วันอาทิตย์ (wanM aaM thitH) - Sunday
พระอาทิตย์ (phraH aaM thitH) - the Sun
วันจันทร์ (wanM janM) - Monday
พระจันทร์ (phraH janM) - the Moon
วันอังคาร (wanM angM khaanM) - Tuesday
ดาวพระอังคาร (daaoM phraH angM khaanM) - Mars
วันพุธ (wanM phootH) - Wednesday
ดาวพระพุธ (daaoM phraH phootH) - Mercury
วันพฤหัสบดี (wanM phraH phreuH hatL saL baawM deeM) - Thursday
Note; this day is almost always just spoken colloquially as วันพฤหัสฯ (wanM phaH reuH hatL)
ดาวพระพฤหัสบดี (daaoM phraH phreuH hatL saL baawM deeM) - Jupiter
Note; this too is almost always spoken colloquially as ดาวพระพฤหัสฯ (daaoM phraH phreuH hatL)
วันศุกร์ (wanM sookL) - Friday
ดาวพระศุกร์ (daaoM phraH sookL) - Venus
วันเสาร์ (wanM saoR) - Saturday
ดาวพระเสาร์ (daaoM phraH saoR) - Saturn
