Why do 7-day weather graphics use different colored headers for Saturday and Sunday data?


Recommended Posts

For example, on WCVB in Boston, Mon-Fri have white headers but Sat-Sun have gold headers.

 

And on WPRI in Providence, Mon-Fri have white headers but Sat-Sun have red headers.

 

Why is this?

Calendars have been this way since the 1800s; red indicates weekends and holidays, white or black weekdays.

 

Some stations may differ in color, but weekends are always demarcated by a different color than the weekdays.
