The birthday color for the date is Scarlet Red (#E23620), a hot saturated red whose color word is winter sun.
On White Day, the night is watched over by Taiyangshou, a Chinese star name meaning Guard of the Sun. This 3.69-magnitude light in Ursa Major stands alone near the Dipper's bowl, a single sentry in the old imperial sky. Its star words are sun warden and solar guard. At midnight it completes its shift at the top of the southern sky. The day's color is Scarlet Red (#E23620), a color word of sunshine. A star that guards the sun beside the color of sunlight — a warm pairing for a day of giving back.
March 14's birthday fish is the Japanese spiny lobster. Hiding among rocky reefs, it is said to stir once night falls — a stillness unlike the daylight.
