What is wrong with y'all!!??????

Math is so obviously blue!!

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Because it makes people sad?

[–] Granixo@feddit.cl 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was thinking blue for math

[–] MooseLad@lemmy.world 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.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] kobra@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

idk why this is correct, but it is.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 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

[–] EmpiricalFlock@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have mostly seen it where Yellow and Blue are swapped, but otherwise I agree.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Yep the language/elective got the more unconventional color, and blue was the socials/history/humanities

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

Sex Ed - #B000B5

[–] EnmaAi22@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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
[–] gigachad@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Math is Green

English is Red

German is Blue

Geography is Brown

Music is White

Religion is Black

Chemistry is Purple

Biology is Yellow

[–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Color? In the USA we don't have such standard. We had multiple colors for the same subject from teacher to teacher or year to year. Sometimes colors overlapped.

[–] minishoemaze@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

πŸŸ₯Red - Math

🟦Blue - Reading

🟨Yellow - Writing

🟩Green - Science

[–] OnichiCub@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This is perfection. Exactly.

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@lemmy.world 3 points 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!

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 3 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.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

From my American high school subjects in no particular order:

  • English - Navy Blue

  • Science - Green

  • Math - Orange

  • History - Burgundy

  • Spanish - Red

  • Band - Brown

  • Gym - Yellow

  • Art - Salmon

  • Latin - White

  • Computer Science - Gray

  • Study Hall - Whatever color you see when you close your eyes, because that's mostly what I did.

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.
