Wonderful!

I didn't know red was a Dioskouroi color--which is very interesting indeed, because for the past few days, I've been getting a "red is something that should be worn today" message, and thus have been doing so...

Yea, those red capes in "300" were no accident. :)

Interestingly, in taking Vedic astrology recently I found out that the color for Mars was red (no surprise) but the day to wear it is Tuesday. I happened to wear it yesterday for different reasons but it was a happy coincidence.

Makes sense--remember, in most Romance languages, Tuesday is some form of "Mars-day" (e.g. French Mardi, Spanish Martes, and even in Irish it's de Mairt, if I remember correctly); and in the Vedic system, it's one of the two days of the week on which Hanuman is honored (hence the icon here...the other being Saturday, because Hanuman deflects the bad influences of the planet Saturn).
