In most cases i've seen it's like this:

Blue - (insert your country's language)

Red - Math

Green - Science

Yellow - History & Geography

For other subjects it varies from school to school.

idk why this is correct, but it is.

I feel like for me it's always...

Green - science

Blue (but less often red) - math

And everything else varies

I have mostly seen it where Yellow and Blue are swapped, but otherwise I agree.

Yep the language/elective got the more unconventional color, and blue was the socials/history/humanities

In my times I don't recall such association, so I'm making this up.

It depends a lot of the curriculum, but I'd try something like:

  • Literature - purple, due to purple prose. #7F007F.
  • Native language, textual comprehension - red; fire, home. #BF0000.
  • Any non-native language, including "foreign" ones and government ones - yellow? #BFBF00 fits I guess?
  • Maths - black. Mostly because the most important number is zero, so it gets #000000.
  • Chemistry - blue because it's a colour that you barely see in nature, #0000BF. (It reminds me copper sulphate.)
  • Biology - green, #00BF00.
  • Physics - can I get ultraviolet here? If not, probably grey, #7F7F7F.
  • Geography - if not going with an earthy hue I'd not take it seriously, so #3F1F00.
  • History - rose to remind you that it's always seen with rose-coloured glasses, so #FFAFAF.

Philosophy, computer stuff, civic order, similar: no idea.

From my perspective in Germany:

  • Yellow is English
  • Blue is math
  • Red is German
  • Dark green is biology
  • Light green is chemistry
  • Purple is music
  • Pink history

Math is Green

English is Red

German is Blue

Geography is Brown

Music is White

Religion is Black

Chemistry is Purple

Biology is Yellow

Color? In the USA we don't have such standard. We had multiple colors for the same subject from teacher to teacher or year to year. Sometimes colors overlapped.

🟥Red - Math

🟦Blue - Reading

🟨Yellow - Writing

🟩Green - Science

Language Arts- dark yellow. Science - bright blue History and Geography- green Math - red Religion - purple Mine is probably different because I was homeschooled, but other people who were homeschooled may agree.

English - Blue with yellow sticker

Spanish - Purple with pink sticker

Math - Green with orange sticker

History - Orange with green sticker

Bio/Chem/Physics - yellow with pink sticker

Elective - Red with green or yellow sticker

I left high school literally 20 years ago, and I still remember the colors!

🔵 Math 🟢 Science 🔴 Portuguese 🟠 History/Geography

Brazilian here. I've always associated this colors to this subjects. I guess our books were color themed or something.

From my American high school subjects in no particular order:

  • English - Navy Blue

  • Science - Green

  • Math - Orange

  • History - Burgundy

  • Spanish - Red

  • Band - Brown

  • Gym - Yellow

  • Art - Salmon

  • Latin - White

  • Computer Science - Gray

  • Study Hall - Whatever color you see when you close your eyes, because that's mostly what I did.

I used to have them all color-coded so I could keep my notebooks organized. I do not remember the colors and I threw those out ages ago.

Math: Red

Science: Green

English (Native Lang:) Yellow

Social Studies/History: Orange

Health/Sex Ed (in high school they were the same:) Purple

Phys Ed: Beige

Programming: White

After a while it all broke down tho

Currently for me it's like this:

  • physics: blue
  • chemistry: reddish-brown
  • maths: yellow
  • english: also blue fsr

In College, for folders

anything Roman=Red
anything Greek=Green
English/Literature etc.=Orange or Yellow
Latin=Red or Yellow(depending on if I'm taking another Red or Yellow course, I never took enough classes to cause a conflict)
Math=also Red, but Latin or Roman stuff takes precedence Science=blue Anything else=whatever's not already used

🔴 Math 🟢 Language Arts 🔵 History 🟡 Science 🟣 Art

imo 🔴 Language Arts 🟢 History 🔵 Math 🟡 Art 🟣 Science

Red for English/language arts Blue for math Green for science Yellow for geography/social sciences/ history
