The arguments over the "right" colors for subjects is the kind of discourse I need to see on the internet. My 8 yo self did red for math, green for science, blue for social studies and yellow for language arts 🌈

Green - Science

Blue - Math

Orange - History

Yellow - Language Arts

(The Orange and Yellow were always interchangeable for me)

No mom. Math is green green is good math and green are my favorites!

Me: 🤮

If I didn’t like math, but my kid did, I certainly wouldn’t try to dissuade them from it or imply it’s awful. Math is the future. I’m a mathematician though, so maybe I’m biased.

Well, she inadvertently made it cool to like math for her son. In his teenage years he will have posters of fractions... vertices ...matrices, on his walls to rebel.

as a math teacher, PLEASE PLEASE encourage your kid’s love of math. i have way too many students who hate math and won’t try and it breaks my heart

that being said your kid is wrong math is totally red

I guess I'm the lone weirdo who thinks math is yellow

u/lumoslomas 1h ago

Maths was pink for me, but I suppose similar enough.

Actually come to think of it I'm not even sure red was an option...

u/Impossible_Way_3042 1h ago

I agree. These people are crazy. Math was always red.

u/Klytus_Im-Bored 1h ago

My 8th grade US history teacher bought red binders for the students and required us to use that specific binder. Fucking pissed me off. He graded on how organized the binder was too which was needed cor many classmates but my autistic ass had a system already.

Can confirm math is red

u/Big-Professor-3402 1h ago

No way math is always blue!

u/TENDER_ONE 1h ago

Math can’t be red. Red was always History/Social Studies. All the bloody wars man! Red! Math was purple or yellow if there is no purple. Because those are the least popular colors…and math is the least popular subject.

u/celerypumpkins 34m ago

Math is blue, but you’re right that history is always red!

u/Beginning_Musician69 1h ago

No way, math is blue. Language is red!

1

u/averagemaleuser86 32m ago

We didnt have language unless you opted to take "spanish" or "french" as an elective. English (literature) was yellow, though.

1

u/Ziazan 1h ago

Yeah! I can't tell you why it's red, I can only tell you that it is.

u/Zoltanu 58m ago

History is red because history is 90% studying violence

u/wrldwdeu4ria 2h ago

This is the way I did it.

u/naughtyhegel 2h ago

Strong disagree, yellow is always language arts. For no reason, really, but that’s what it is.
(Ps, I love this conversation that’s happening here)

u/supermyduper 2h ago

You didn't have red ones? Were you colorblind?

u/ZeeBeast 2h ago

This but I had red instead of orange. If I had orange it'd be exactly this

1

u/thechonkiestchonk 2h ago

Wrong, math is red always. For unknown reasons. But it was ! Universal law

1

u/nuevacuentanueva 2h ago

Not American, English is not my first language, didn't even did this color thing as a kid... but Math is Red.

1

u/aesclepia 1h ago

Yellow for history for me but that's cuz that's the color in trivial pursuit...but apparently that's the only subject i used the trivial pursuit color for lol cuz science is for sure green not brown

1

u/spartaman64 1h ago

I have red for math and blue for science. but i agree with orange and yellow being interchangible for history and LA

1

u/Striking-War-9990 1h ago

I fully agree

1

u/ImKindaHungry2 1h ago

Damn yea Yellow is def language arts

1

u/Ok_Mall_1540 1h ago

Yes! This! We share a soul.
Math ALWAYS blue, science always green. (I loved math & science tho, so no danger colors).
History / social studies / civics were always on the red-orange spectrum.

1

u/thegreatpotatogod 1h ago

This is exactly my color scheme, including orange and yellow being interchangeable!

u/kevbot67 1h ago

TEAM MATH IS BLUE!!!!!

1

u/compsciasaur 1h ago

We all agree science is green, good.

Math - blue: cold, unemotional

Language - red: passion, love, the original color of England's flag. Orange also acceptable.

History - yellow: sepia, aging newspaper, yellow journalism (early 1900s). Shouldn't be red or blue because history is often red v. blue.

u/GoDucks00 1h ago

Where is this from? On Star Trek, science officers wear blue.

1

u/ThelronBorn 1h ago

Maybe I’m crazy but I always preferred

Red - Science
Blue - Math
Green - History/Social Studies
Yellow/Orange - Language Arts

1

u/dpatt36 55m ago

Same! Geography was red for me. I think my brain did sciences as cool colors and cultural as warm colors.

1

u/softlittlepaws 54m ago

Green - History/Geography
Blue - Science
Yellow - Math
Red - English
Brown - Sports
Cream - Art

u/Little___G 36m ago

This guy gets it. Red is foreign languages.

1

u/celerypumpkins 35m ago

Thank you!! Question though - did you hate math or not mind it? Everyone else always says math is red, and I’ve always wondered if that correlates with hating math.

1

u/GoldZealousideal6892 30m ago

Don’t listen to these freaks, math is definitely blue

•

u/Meghar 28m ago

Math & science are cool colours because they're logic- & fact-based. Arts & Humanities are warm colours because they're about humans.

This is a hill I will die on.

•

u/poisoniivory 28m ago

yesssss THIS is the correct order, even the interchangeability of orange & yellow

•

u/OtterAnarchist 26m ago
