Wikiday is an idea to break up the 24 hour day into three color zones, to make for easier real-time meeting and coordination. The graph is intended to make understanding time zone shifts easier, by using color to represent the local time of day: from light blue morning to orange dusk to dark blue late night. Vertically, the zones are placed in same-time relation to each other.
The three main timezones used are CHT (China), GMT (Europe), and PST (America). The colorzones are Blue, Green and Orange, representing the synergy times between main local areas; for example the Blueday zone is where Asia and Europe share daylight. Where the zones change represents common meeting times for all zones; though Asia or the US must rise early or stay up late, to coordinate a meeting.
A day progresses from left to right. If GMT 12:00 is the base, PST localtime is early morning, and China time is 8pm evening, etc.
