As someone not from an English speaking country (Finland), here's the colors I associated with every mandatory subject. I'm probably just inventing some though, there wasn't much agreement on them as far as I remember.
Biology: Green
Geography: Brown/green
Chemistry: Dark green
Physics: Dark blue
Math: Blue
Finnish: Red
Religion: Purple
History: Orange
English as a second language: Light blue (looking it up it was apparently Yellow but I definitely never associated it with that)
We're German and you're absolutely correct. Obviously in our case red equals German. And my son currently uses yellow for English, too. Art is white here. He will start French this year. He also wants to do Greek later. And I'm not sure what to do with both of them.
It’s interesting that you had different greens all for science then went to dark blue for physics. I mean physics is fairly clear applied math, so that’s kindof fair, but something in the teal family could be the math and science bridge
I could see that also working. I always had black for music/band, though; I suppose it was because we carried all our sheet music in it and it’s the least intrusive color to see on stage.
I'm very close to that. I swapped English (yellow, like journalism) and History (Red, like blood). Purple for foreign language classes (initially I took Latin, like the Patricians) and orange for specials (kinda all that's left)
Swap the color for history and English and I agree completely. It's always red for history because of the blood, and yellow for English because..well I don't really have a good reasoning for that one. I think I actually used purple or pink for English most of the time.
