School Subjects/Colors

[ryan_]

Because of an argument my friends and I were having.

 

Math= red because... um... it just seems like a red subject

English= blue because blue is the best color out of all of these and so is English

Science= green because plants are green and they're science-y

History= yellow because yellow signifies age and yeah

WL= pink/purple because my Spanish teacher made us have colored everything and so the most colorful notebooks I had at the time were pink and purple.

 

[AnarchistTactician]

Math- Definitely blue, a pale blue that can mix with green to make blue-green.

English- Red, feels right.

Science- Green, a verdant green like nice grass that can combine with blue to make blue-green.

History- I'd say like a terracotta orangey-brown. 

WL- Blue, it feels correct.

[drjohnhwatson]

It's weird because green for science and yellow for history immediately leapt out at me with little thought.

[WinterWanderer]

Math - Red

English - Blue or green, or purple if I love the subject. Like, a Literary Epics class would be purple for me.

Science - Purple (because it's my fave color and I love science), or orange if it's a biological science. Oh, but chemistry is blue or green. And physics is red.

History - gray

World languages - Depends on the language. Spanish is red to me. French would probably be purple. German might be green? Idk.

[Polygon]

Math - Blue.

English - Red

Science - Green

History - Brown

World languages - purple

 

[Mermaidy]

math-yellow

english-pink

science-blue

history-green

 

I've studied a few WL so

german-purple

spanish-orange

chinese-red and yellow

[arekathevampyre]

math - pink

english - black

science - blue (I think)

history - green

WL (Chinese) - yellow

[Juno_L]

Math and science classes seem like cool colors to me.  And dark, so black would work as well. They are controlled and calculated. Math is dark blur or black. Sciences like biology are green, physics and geology purple, chemistry blue.

English/ language arts/ literature and art classes are warm colors to me. They are creative, bright, open ended, and loud.

For some reason history is green.

 

I like math and science much more than English, and I like cool colors more. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or not that I associate classes I like with colors I like.

 

My mom wanted to color code my little brother's classes last year, and he had no preference for which class had which color. My mom knows that I associate colors with classes, so she would be running around the house with folders school supplies calling out "Juno, what color is math?"

[froggily]

Math--blue

English--yellow

Science--green

History--brown

Foreign languages--depends on language.

 

[OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer]

Math: Something like blue, light gray and white.

English: Yellow and possibly tan.

Science: Green and dark purple.

History: Red, brown, and maybe dark gray.

World Languages: I'll just say orange and yellow.

[Sylvastor]

Math: Blue

English: Green (for me a foreign language though)

Science: Other/White (I never had just one class called science but several each with a different colour, but in Elementary School it used to be green, but for things like chemistry I used grey and white "colours")

History: Bright Yellow (sort of shared with religion class, where I had an orange-y yellow)

World Languages: Red (German is native for me, so I'll go with that and it's red)

[Knight of Cydonia]

Math: Red

English: White

Science: Blue

History: Yellow

Languages: not sure, I guess I'd say orange of the options.

 

The two I'm most sure of are math/red and science/blue, definitely.

[Elden]

Maths: Blue ("M" is red, but the rest of the letters make it blue instead)

English: Red

Science: Grey (Although if you want to break it down: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Botany...)

History: Brown

Languages: Every language is different, there's no one colour I associate with all of them. The word "Language" itself is yellow, because of the "L", but most of the individual languages themselves aren't.

[Grumpy Alien]

I’ve never associated color with this sort of thing and it doesn’t really make sense to me to do so

[Homer]

Colours... subjects... what?

[XYZ96]

Math is blue

English is green

Science as a whole is Yellow

Physics is light blue

Biology is light green

Chemistry is orange

History is brown (or black)

German is Red 

 

and when one year our Math notebooks were red and our German notebooks were blue, I would pull out the wrong notebook for the class almost every time.. 

[flagsforhippos]

Maths = orange because it was the colour of our maths exercise books

 

English: blue because I wrote in blue ink and I wrote a lot

 

Science is a grey colour in my mind

 

History is the brown colour of very worn leather-bound books

 

I studied German and black comes to mind when I think of German lessons - though I'm not sure why

 

geography isn't mentioned in the poll but I associate it with green because of the land mass images that saturated our text books

[iff]

In order of the questions

 

Blue

Red

Orange

Yellow

Purple

[Rhaenys]

I associate math with Red cause my text in high school was Red. I sucked as math so I see English as Blue cause it's kinda the opposite.

[The Gnat (Natalie)]

MATH IS A RED SUBJECT. I'LL FIGHT ANYONE

[SpaceDustbin]

Everything is red - but mostly my high school physics, because I more often than not got my tests back with pages full of red marks (cries in a corner)

[quasarshift]

Math - green

English - red

Science - blue [Biology - red, Chemistry - yellow, Physics - blue]

History - brown

World languages - orange [Chinese - red, Japanese - green, Spanish - yellow, French - purple]

[snow.fox]

Based of my folders.

It's been quite some time and if I remember correctly in my last years at school I only used grey for everything (which made me confuse everything, but whatever).

Math - blue

English - yellow

Science - green

History - red

World languages (only Latin for me) - grey

[HonoraryJedi]

I do associate abstract things with colour, though I do not know the logic of it. Maths would be a light greyish blue. English a more more clear blue. Science shifts, between a cool green or blue or grey. It depends. Chemistry would be a red or deep pink, Biology definitely green and Physics a blueish green. History I consider red (H is a red letter to me). Each language would have a different colour. Blue for French, green for  German, yellow for Spanish. 

[Guest]

Every answer I picked ended up being the majority answer. Crazy!

 

(I also had brown in mind for History)

[Elftober Country]

Based on the exercise books we were given to write in for each subject:

 

Maths - blue

English - red

Science - yellow

History - yellow

Languages (German & French) - orange

[Ammy-G]

Math-Blue

English-Green 

Science-Also Green

History-Red **because blood**

Foreign languages-Orange **because orange**

 

I associate green with english, because the green series in animal crossing has a bed with a book-shelf head-board, and normal villagers tend to like said series more than other personality types, and tend to be more bookish than other villagers

 

 

[Guest]

I have mild synthesia:

Math -      Light orange

English -  Dark red

Science - Green, but physics is black

History -   Black

World languages - Red/Pink (similar to English, but warmer)

(Art - Yellow)

[elmrain]

I tend to associate most subjects with the colour of the books we used so:

 

Maths is a pale blue (workbook and bits of the textbook (both A Level))

English is a bluish green (GCSE poetry anthology) or a dark green (workbook)

Science is definitely orange (GCSE textbooks)

History is this weird greenish brown (workbook)

And Languages would be either bright yellow (secondary school workbook) or red (A Level grammar book)

[chrys_silver]

Math is a pale blue

English is a pinkish purple.

Science is orange (reddish, like a flame).

History is grey

And languages are each different colours (Italian is a vibrant red, Spanish is green, Afrikaans is a duller shade of red, etc.)
