Because it makes people sad?

In most cases i've seen it's like this:

Blue - (insert your country's language)

Red - Math

Green - Science

Yellow - History & Geography

For other subjects it varies from school to school.

I was thinking blue for math

[–] MooseLad 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah math is blue for me. Science is green. I would say English is red and history or geography is yellow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

idk why this is correct, but it is.

[–] dingus 5 points 1 year ago

I feel like for me it's always...

Green - science

Blue (but less often red) - math

And everything else varies

In my times I don't recall such association, so I'm making this up.

It depends a lot of the curriculum, but I'd try something like:

  • Literature - purple, due to purple prose. #7F007F.
  • Native language, textual comprehension - red; fire, home. #BF0000.
  • Any non-native language, including "foreign" ones and government ones - yellow? #BFBF00 fits I guess?
  • Maths - black. Mostly because the most important number is zero, so it gets #000000.
  • Chemistry - blue because it's a colour that you barely see in nature, #0000BF. (It reminds me copper sulphate.)
  • Biology - green, #00BF00.
  • Physics - can I get ultraviolet here? If not, probably grey, #7F7F7F.
  • Geography - if not going with an earthy hue I'd not take it seriously, so #3F1F00.
  • History - rose to remind you that it's always seen with rose-coloured glasses, so #FFAFAF.

Philosophy, computer stuff, civic order, similar: no idea.

From my perspective in Germany:

  • Yellow is English
  • Blue is math
  • Red is German
  • Dark green is biology
  • Light green is chemistry
  • Purple is music
  • Pink history

Well try traveling back in time and stop me

[–] TheHotze 4 points 1 year ago

Language Arts- dark yellow. Science - bright blue History and Geography- green Math - red Religion - purple Mine is probably different because I was homeschooled, but other people who were homeschooled may agree.

πŸ”΅ Math 🟒 Science πŸ”΄ Portuguese 🟠 History/Geography

Brazilian here. I've always associated this colors to this subjects. I guess our books were color themed or something.

[–] kaitco 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

English - Blue with yellow sticker

Spanish - Purple with pink sticker

Math - Green with orange sticker

History - Orange with green sticker

Bio/Chem/Physics - yellow with pink sticker

Elective - Red with green or yellow sticker

I left high school literally 20 years ago, and I still remember the colors!

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago

I used to have them all color-coded so I could keep my notebooks organized. I do not remember the colors and I threw those out ages ago.

[–] Stovetop 2 points 1 year ago

In College, for folders

anything Roman=Red
anything Greek=Green
English/Literature etc.=Orange or Yellow
Latin=Red or Yellow(depending on if I'm taking another Red or Yellow course, I never took enough classes to cause a conflict)
Math=also Red, but Latin or Roman stuff takes precedence Science=blue Anything else=whatever's not already used
