Green - Science

Blue - Math

Orange - History

Yellow - Language Arts

(The Orange and Yellow were always interchangeable for me)

u/averagemaleuser86 Aug 26 '26

Math is Reddddddd!

u/Pleasant-Caramel2931 Aug 26 '26

Math is ALWAYS red!!!

u/borisdidnothingwrong Aug 26 '26

Red was always English for me. Because books are read.

3

u/RecipeNo101 Aug 26 '26

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

u/clarinetJWD Aug 27 '26

I have very few strong feeling about this sort of thing. But math is red is one of them.

2

u/lumoslomas Aug 26 '26

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/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 26 '26

I just had this argument with my highschooler. Math is danger red is danger. Math is red.

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

Me: 🤮

u/ciao_fiv Aug 26 '26

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

2

u/lorenoline Aug 26 '26

That’s because red is the best colour, which pairs nicely with maths.

u/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 27 '26

I hated and currently deeply dislike math. My kids have all always been crazy about it and found my confusion about liking math pretty funny.

I became a classroom math helper in part to keep up with their skills and figure out wtf the “new”style was. The kids spent a lot of time explaining strategies to me and being the “teachers”. Or I did math fact with the slower learners and we would focus on practice and generally practicing a strong learning attitude even when it got tough.

We’ve agreed that we won’t push out color subject preferences on each other. We are equally horrified by the youngest says math is Light Blue.

u/fsmlogic Aug 27 '26

Red is my favorite color. Math was my favorite subject, but Math gets the Blue folder.
History gets Red.

u/ittybittytitty_com Aug 26 '26

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.

u/Waspster Aug 26 '26

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.

2

u/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 27 '26

My daughter loves math as much as I hate it. I’m talking to a teen. Not a 5 year old. They’re pretty confident anything I say is questionable to begin with, I might as well have fun with it 🤷🏽‍♀️

2

u/Aranxi_89 Aug 26 '26

Math is arcane magic, the language of Gods. If only I could read it as well as my peers...

1

u/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 27 '26

Math IS witchcraft! And everyone around me is in danger when I attempt anything complex!

I believe there have been snarky comments about them helping me with my checkbook balancing. Harsh, but fair.

-2

u/TheAzarak Aug 26 '26

Yea that's a bad attitude trying to get your kid to hate math haha

1

u/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 27 '26

That’s dramatic.

1

u/TheAzarak Aug 27 '26

Maybe to you it seems like no big deal, but trying to dissuade your kid from liking anything that they like (as long as it's a beneficial thing) is bad form and WILL lead to the kid resenting you. I know from experience. "Don't be in the yearbook team, join football" "don't try to be a teacher, that's a woman's job" "don't play video games, watch the baseball game instead" "don't dress like a socal beach bum, dress like a real Texan"

They spent my entire childhood trying to get me to like what THEY like and disregarded anything I enjoyed. They would even take us to Mexican restaurants for my birthday despite me not liking Mexican food, just because they do. Now I'd rather not be around them at all. I'm just glad I was stubborn and didn't give in to them. My parents wouldn't have wanted me to pursue a stem degree either because they both hated math and science.

I mean, shit. This isn't just a parenting thing. Literally NO ONE likes when someone hates on something they like. The only possible outcome is that the person feels bad about liking it and now also wants to be around the hater less.

u/Slow-Difficulty404 Aug 27 '26

It’s about a folder color. Get over yourself. Consider counseling.

1

u/TheAzarak Aug 27 '26

It's not though, it's about a mom that was upset that their kid liked math... You lack nuance. It was never about the fucking color lol.

1

u/ittybittytitty_com Aug 27 '26

You ok, buddy? You seem angry.

5

u/Beginning_Musician69 Aug 26 '26

No way, math is blue. Language is red!

1

u/averagemaleuser86 Aug 26 '26

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

8

u/Big-Professor-3402 Aug 26 '26

No way math is always blue!

5

u/nose_poke Aug 26 '26

I'm with you! Math is blue!

15

u/Impossible_Way_3042 Aug 26 '26

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

2

u/Klytus_Im-Bored Aug 26 '26

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.

6

u/austin_ave Aug 26 '26

Math is only red for people who suck at it.

4

u/TENDER_ONE Aug 26 '26

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.

2

u/celerypumpkins Aug 26 '26

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

0

u/averagemaleuser86 Aug 26 '26

History is GREEN

4

u/nose_poke Aug 26 '26

No, SCIENCE is clearly green!

9

u/ZEROs0000 Aug 26 '26

People who used red were lowkey crazy

1

u/West_Experience1360 Aug 26 '26

Can confirm math is red

3

u/endoverlord423 Aug 26 '26

Math is most certainly blue

1

u/Ziazan Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/Zoltanu Aug 26 '26

History is red because history is 90% studying violence

1

u/averagemaleuser86 Aug 26 '26

Science is blue. Math is red. English is yellow. History is green.

1

u/profanedivinity Aug 26 '26

Yes. Maths is red. Language is blue

1

u/BrutalBronze Aug 26 '26

I wonder if there is a correlation between the math is red folks and hating math. Math is my favorite subject and it was always blue!

1

u/WHWeaselgoose Aug 26 '26

Holy shit yes. It’s always been red. Math is RED.

1

u/mywither Aug 27 '26

History is a lot bloodier than math so social studies are red.

1

u/freebread Aug 27 '26

I think it differers depending on where you live. Similar to how everywhere has food local to where they live. .

1

u/XboxVictim Sep 02 '26

Always thought English was blue and math was red.

1

u/ppetrelli0 Aug 26 '26

Math is so fucking RED… Until I started college and then math became BLACK

u/RubPublic3359 Aug 26 '26

u/tutoredstatue95 Aug 26 '26

Blue math Chad laminated folders vs. weak Red floppy math folders

So floppy

u/Right-Boysenberry159 Aug 26 '26

I'm so happy to see this, this is it.

6

u/wrldwdeu4ria Aug 26 '26

This is the way I did it.

u/WannaMakeGames Aug 26 '26

Red—Native language
Yellow—Foreign language
Blue—Math
Orange—History
Green—Science

3

u/Ok_Mall_1540 Aug 26 '26

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.

2

u/naughtyhegel Aug 26 '26

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)

2

u/supermyduper Aug 26 '26

Wrong. Math is red

2

u/compsciasaur Aug 26 '26

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/Legionof1 Aug 26 '26

BURN THE HERETIC!

u/DidUSayWeast Aug 26 '26

You speak my love language

1

u/Suyefuji Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/ZeeBeast Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/aesclepia Aug 26 '26

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/ImKindaHungry2 Aug 26 '26

Damn yea Yellow is def language arts

1

u/thegreatpotatogod Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/kevbot67 Aug 26 '26

TEAM MATH IS BLUE!!!!!

1

u/GoDucks00 Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/ThelronBorn Aug 26 '26

Maybe I’m crazy but I always preferred

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

1

u/dpatt36 Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/softlittlepaws Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/Little___G Aug 26 '26

This guy gets it. Red is foreign languages.

1

u/celerypumpkins Aug 26 '26

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 Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/Meghar Aug 26 '26

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.

1

u/poisoniivory Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/OtterAnarchist Aug 26 '26

Nah Reading is Red science is purple or blue and math is ALWAYS green

1

u/ashtranscends Aug 26 '26

Most accurate comment

1

u/CapitalAd7198 Aug 26 '26

Straight to jail! Red is always math, yellow is for social studies, blue is geography.

1

u/thin_white_dutchess Aug 26 '26

Language arts is blue. I accept no arguments.

1

u/remoriyy_ Aug 26 '26

I agree, except English/language arts is red 😭

1

u/clownshoesrock Aug 26 '26

Somebody wanted to mentally prepare you for Trivial Pursuit, priming your brain to think grade-school-science when you see green, like a Pavlovian Dog.

1

u/endaayer92 Aug 26 '26

This was always my exact list!

1

u/Moonkist Aug 26 '26

Lol, why are mine (almost) all different?

For me, it’s always been:
Green - Science, because it reminds me of Flubber
English - Red, because literature & poetry invoke passion
Math - Blue, because it’s cool and logical
Social Studies - Yellow, because God, Gold, and Glory

1

u/DnDYetti Aug 26 '26

Math is Red, Social Studies is Blue.

1

u/Lameduck57 Aug 27 '26

1

u/Schmueile Aug 27 '26

1

u/Stupid_cray0n Aug 27 '26

CORRECT! 100%, A++

1

u/One-WaytoLife336 Aug 27 '26

Bro blue is science

1

u/Wandering__Albatross Aug 28 '26

Green - biology
Red - chemistry
Blue - physics
Orange - maths
Yellow - geography & history
Different blue (without the dappling) - languages
(My school had a lot of different books)

1

u/thechonkiestchonk Aug 26 '26

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

1

u/nuevacuentanueva Aug 26 '26

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