    Hmm. Are you looking for the exact date, or the day of the week on this one?

    If two is blue, and three is white, and four is black in the UK but green in the US, what colour is one?

    Oh, you know very well why!

    I have no idea what these colours represent even though I checked many boardgames, sports, emergency alert codes, lottery and so on; looking at the colours already mentioned, I think 1 is either red or yellow. However, it'd be nice to know the reason behind it as well!

    Well, given the colours I've mentioned, there's a good chance the answer would be red as opposed to, say, ochre or taupe. However, I want the why.

    Are the colors those that represent various political parties ordered from most to least popular? That's what they could mean in Canadian politics.

    How so? The Tories are blue, but the Libs are red, NDP orange, Greens green, and BQ light blue.

    Oh nvm, I thought that Tories were red and Libs were blue ('cuz of the American liberal = blue, conservative = red thing) with greens pulling up the rear. I totally forgot about the NDP.

    This answer is not correct, according to the one source I tracked down, but since the information is somewhat variable, I'll throw it out there:

    Silver.

    (Silver/Gray is the most popular color for new automobiles. It has been for some time, but in 2009 white and black ranked ahead of blue.)

    All very inventive, but not right.

    Would y'all like a clue?
