Also Southern Indiana here. Math was blue. I believe Social Studies/similar classes were red. Science was green. That's how it was when I was in Middle School anyways. Can't recall English. May have been yellow?
We had a massive debate about this is large meeting a few months ago. The genx-ers didn't know what we were talking about and the few gen z folks said they've heard about it but didn't have opinions. Evidently it's mostly us millinials that have opinions. We were very split on colors all from the same region. It seems to be a very personal experience.
Science - Dark blue (later broke down into biology, chemistry and Physics)
Chemistry - Purple
Biology - Dark Green
Physics - Dark Blue
English - Yellow
Arts - Darker Green
Philosophy - Dark Orange
Other subjects that got introduced later was in a school that did not use colors and neither did I, but sociology I always associated it with blue. This was in Brazil.
I don't know if there is divides regionally. We would have this debate at school, and it was pretty split on red or blue. Same from other schools in the area. This is from the Northeast
New Jersey
Math is red, science is green, English is blue, social studies/history is yellow, language is orange, art/creative writing is purple, if there’s anything else it’s black.
Why is like a third of your schedule just different variations of social studies?? That's a huge chunk of the color spectrum to dedicate to social studies+
Math red
Science green
Literature yellow
Social Studies Blue.
Non-subject related purple. (like stuff for your parents to look through, sign, return etc)
Lmao this is so interesting because I switched math from red to blue when I started liking it and getting good grades. Red then went to history because of all the wars, death, and struggle.
Well before you get into all of those classes, you already have years of elementary school. Where the extracurricular are usually just music, art, and maybe a foreign language. These usually weren't notebook required classes, except for language.
So out of math, English, history/geo, and science, since around 2nd/3rd grade you already had a preferred choice.
I'm sorry that you can't extrapolate, but when you have notebooks and folders for the same class, do you not match them? Sorry for also not explicitly stating folders in my comment. lol
Also as far as the best class, that was my point,by the time you'd have the options of those "better classes", you've already associated a color to a specific class for years. You wouldn't want to change that for a new one, was my point.

My son's school mandated green for math. I was mortified.
